Overview of VBCollector
VBCollector is used to view pictures recorded by the Network Camera VB-C50i/VB-C50iR, VB-C10/VB-
C10R and Network Camera Server VB150 (hereinafter referred to as Server). With VBCollector, you can
collect and display still pictures recorded by the Sever based on inputs from an external device, motion
detection or schedules. VBCollector accesses the Sever at specific times expressed in units such as dates,
weeks, or months, and then downloads the recorded pictures. Since the recorded pictures are saved one
after another in the PC on which VBCollector is installed, pictures can still be securely saved when the
allowable limit on the number of pictures that the Server can record and save has been exceeded.
Downloaded images can also be easily viewed in the Web browser. Information related to task execution
can also be recorded in a log.
