Overview

The VB-M46 inherits the high performance features of previous Canon PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras, but includes significant improvements with a new image sensor and processor. Ideal for the security and surveillance markets, the VB-M46 contains a new 1.3 megapixel high sensitivity image sensor (1280 x 960) and 20x optical zoom lens which provides exceptional low light performance with a minimum subject illumination level of just 0.02 lux at 1/30 shutter speed. The new image processor provides high quality video streaming, including H.265, H.264, and MJPEG video formats up to 60 fps.

Other improvements include High Dynamic Range (HDR) that combines frames of different exposure, giving the user even exposure over the camera's field of view. Along with improved video, the VB-M46 also now supports the AAC-LC audio standard for improved audio quality up to 48 kHz at 128 kbps.

An available simple camera setting allows users to instantly set their camera up to fit their application such as Motion Priority, Low Light Visibility, Depth Priority, and Data size reductions.

Various power sources include Power over Ethernet (PoE), 12V DC, as well as the optional PA-V18 ac adapter. The VB-M46 also supports ONVIF profile T to allow for quick integration with 3rd party video management solutions. With all the new features and performance enhancements, the Canon VB-M46 continues the Canon tradition of exceeding the demands of the security and surveillance market.

Features

Remarkable Low Light Performance

The VB-M46 features a new 1/2.8 CMOS sensor. With this high sensitivity sensor, minimum subject illumination performance has been drastically improved from previous generation model, to 0.02 lux (VB-M46) from 0.05 lux (VB-M44). As a result of improved minimum subject illumination performance, even in dark scenes, images can be recognized clearly in detail with less noise.

  • Monitoring Illuminescence: .02 lux
  • Maximum Wide Angle

New Engine Dramatically Enhances Video Streaming

  • The VB-M46 features a new video and network engine that enables delivering videos at maximum 60 fps for Full HD video.
  • In addition to the new support for H.265 with compression efficiency higher than H.264, the compression efficiency has also been greatly improved for H.264, compared to current models resulting in a significant reduction in the delivery bit rate.

New Engine Dramatically Enhances WDR Performance

  • The new engine of the VB-M46 has been utilized to install the new WDR function which uses multiple frame synthesis.
  • In scenes where there is a large difference in brightness within the angle of view, it is possible to shoot from high brightness areas to low with higher visibility than the previous generation models, which is effective in improving the accuracy when analyzing video.

AAC-LC High Quality Audio Coding Support

In addition to the G.711 μ-law used in current models, the new models support the international standard AAC-LC for higher quality speech coding. AAC stands for Advanced Audio Coding. It has a higher compression efficiency than G.711 and enables the conversion of wide frequency and the rise and decay in the original sound into high quality digital audio signals with greater fidelity.
