We reserve the right to change the Service benefits, including discount amounts and eligibility used to determine discount amounts, at any time in our sole discretion. All such changes will apply to future orders.
When you are enrolled, the Service will automatically create a new order for Eligible Products according to the shipment schedule applicable to the frequency of the Service you have selected, until you cancel.
We may, in our sole discretion, terminate your enrollment at any time without notice. If we do so, you will only be charged for orders that have been shipped to you.
Eligible Products
The eligible products that may be ordered through the Service (the identity of which are subject to change) are set forth on the product detail page on the Canon Direct website (shop.usa.canon.com) with the option to select the Service displayed (each, an "Eligible Product").

Discounts and any amounts from limited time promotions that apply to your order, if any, and which are still in effect, will be automatically deducted from your order.
Some offer details may change as you receive deliveries over time (for example, price, taxes, availability, and shipping charges). If an Eligible Product is unavailable when we plan to ship it, we will notify you that we are unable to process your order, and we will wait to process your order until the next scheduled shipping date when the Eligible Product is available. When the Eligible Product becomes available, the price will be the price when you ordered it, regardless of when it becomes available.
Returns of Eligible Products under the Service are subject to our return policy. Service enrollments are void where prohibited.
Enrollment
As part of your enrollment in the Service, you will be required to register with us so that your printer can be identified as participating in the Service. Instructions for registering your printer are contained in the introductory email sent to you after you apply for enrollment in the Service, as well as in the "My Account" section of the Canon Direct website (shop.usa.canon.com). You will be required to accept terms and conditions provided by our parent company, Canon Inc., as part of registering your printer. Canon Inc. will notify us when an ink or toner cartridge reaches a certain low ink/toner threshold, and we will fill an order for the ink or toner and ship it to you under these Terms. Information provided to us and Canon Inc. may be stored on servers outside of the United States and will be subject to our Privacy Statement. It's possible that your order for Eligible Products will not arrive prior to running out of ink or toner where your use was more than usual, particularly if such greater use occurred over 1 or 2 days.
Payment and Cancellation
The total cost charged to your payment method for each order under the Service will be the cost of the Eligible Product on the day that order is processed, less any discount offered as a percentage or dollars off at the time you registered, plus any applicable sales tax. We reserve the right to modify or cancel any discount offered at the time you registered for the Service, with notice to you, and future orders fulfilled under the Service will reflect any such change.

Your rights under these Terms will automatically terminate without notice if you fail to comply with any of its terms and conditions. In the event of such termination, we may immediately revoke your access to the Service.

Overview
The high-sensitivity VB-M5B PTZ Network Camera captures video with remarkable color and clarity, even in very low-light environments. The camera's advanced lens with large aperture ratio ranging from F1.8 (W) to F2.4 (T) allows more light to reach its sophisticated CMOS image sensor, and Canon's powerful DIGIC DV III Image Processor helps to provide crisp images with remarkable color accuracy. The VB-M5B PTZ Network Camera can reproduce color video down to .4 lux* and black and white video down to .2** lux, making it ideal for many applications where lighting may be limited, ranging from security and surveillance to web casting.
The VB-M5B is equipped with a considerable long-range optical zoom capability made possible by the camera's 'Tele' focal length of 88.5mm, which is comparable to Canon's robust VB-H43 model which offers 2X optical zoom. That functionality is backed by an Enhanced Digital Zoom function that can stream a lower resolution crop of the original high-resolution video, thereby achieving a similar level of video quality as with digital zoom – but at a lower resolution to minimize costly bandwidth and storage space.
The VB-M5B offers a fast and precise Pan/Tilt mechanism which is particularly beneficial to users, as is the ability to establish up to 64 preset camera positions and schedule up to five preset tour routes, eliminating the need for repeated manual adjustment of the pan/tilt/zoom positions.
With the Canon Camera Management Tool (CCMT), users can configure and manage Canon Network Cameras from a single screen. Configuration is also simplified via ONVIF Profile S and G conformance for maximum interoperability with many video management software (VMS) solutions.
The simple setup and use offered by the VB-M5B is furthered by a Camera Viewer that provides easy access to the camera's features and functionality from a variety of different devices including PCs, mobile phones and tablets using iOS and Android operating systems. Additionally, the camera's Bit Rate Stabilization feature can assure a more reliable connection by automatically suppressing bandwidth spikes when transmitting over cellular data.
To further enhance usability the VB-M5B also includes two features, Motion Adaptive Noise Reduction and Area-Specific Data Size Reduction (ADSR), which are both designed to help reduce data size while maintaining high image quality in important areas.
The VB-M5B also offers multiple image enhancement features including the new Clear IR Mode – which activates an Infrared Bandpass Filter that allows only infrared light to pass through to the image sensor – further contributing to this models capability to capture exceptional image quality even in challenging environments. Auto Gain Control allows users to determine the fine balance of video brightness and low noise, while Haze Compensation automatically enhances contrast and maximizes image quality when fog, haze, or smog are present. In addition, the VB-M5B also offers a selection of On-board Video Analytics including Moving Object Detection, Removed and Abandoned Object Detection.
For outstanding visibility and high-quality color video even in low-light environments, rely on Canon and choose the VB-M5B PTZ Network Camera.
