The VN-C30U's compact all-in-one design includes a camera unit with pan/tilt and zoom capability, MPEG1/JPEG compression, network interface and Web server. Images can be served directly to the Internet without a computer.
Incorporating a high-resolution 1/4" CCD with 380,000 pixels, the VN-C30U captures superior, high-quality images with more light and more detail. Clear, bright images are assured, even at night.
 In spite of its compact size, the VN-C30U is no lightweight when it comes to imaging capabilities. It incorporates a powerful optical 15x zoom mechanism that you can easily control from your PC.
To improve delivery of motion images, the VN-C30U adds MPEG1 image compression to the conventional JPEG standard. With MPEG1, motion images can be efficiently compressed for network transfer, while maintaining a frame rate of 30fps for minimal loss of movement. Managing data flow over your network is easy too, because you can also set the constant bit rate you prefer.

 With a built-in 10Base-T/100Base-TX interface, the VN-C30U can be incorporated with equal ease in a conventional 10Base-T LAN or the latest high-speed 100Base-TX network. Simply connect the camera to an existing Ethernet network and assign it an IP address. That is all you need to do to get it up and running on a network.
Since the VN-C30U comes with a built-in Web server and viewer/controller software, you can choose the monitoring and control system that works best for you. If you need a platform-independent system that can be accessed from any computer anywhere, you can use a standard Web browser* to view images and operate cameras over the Internet or on a local Intranet. Alternatively, you can build a more exclusive system for use on your local network with the included viewer/controller software.
Either way, you'll be able to remotely operate a variety of camera functions and settings such as network and picture quality setting, as well as pan/tilt and zoom control. With the viewer/controller software, you can also control recording and playback.
