Using The Still Picture Recording Function With A Predetermined Schedule; Sample Application In Combination With A Lighting Unit - Canon VB101 User Manual

Using the Still Picture Recording Function with a Predetermined Schedule

By using the "Schedule 1-4" setting, you can construct a monitoring system that records pictures according
to a predetermined schedule. The still pictures captured in this way are recorded on a flash memory card
inserted into the VB101.

Sample application in combination with a lighting unit

This is a monitoring system of the type used in art galleries and similar facilities in which the
exhibits are monitored in the hours they are unattended. The light switches on and still pictures
are captured at 10-minute intervals by a VC-C4R camera mounted on the ceiling. The equipment
shown in the figure below is connected to the terminals on the rear of the VB101 at installation.
