This product is discontinued, an alternative model is the Axis M5525-E

The Canon VB-C50i is an indoor PTZ network camera for desktop use with a 26x optical zoom using Canon’s advanced optical lens technology for superior image quality. With smooth TV-like video motion from full 25fps frame rate the Canon VB-C50i captures the full surveillance image without missing details between frames.

True day/night switching allows the Canon VB-C50i to provide clear surveillance images in all lighting conditions with vibrant colour images in the day and a black and white night vision image at night using built-in infrared LEDs to see in the dark.

Like all IP cameras available from Network Webcams, the Canon VB-C50i IP security camera has a built-in web server and can be viewed over a Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN) or via the Internet as a streaming IP webcam.
