Creating Web  Pages
5-27
You can view still images and control the camera using the Web service o\
f a mobile phone. You
can easily create still image distribution pages for mobile phones with \
HTML which uses the
command still.jpg. Sample pages for still image distribution for mobile \
phones have been provided
for the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR. See below for how to view them.
Distributing Still Images to a Mobile Phone
Tip
●You can control the camera only when other users do not have control pri\
vileges.
● The sample screen above is for when the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR is being used. \
If you
are using an external camera, the camera control link does not appear.
Note
Depending on the model of the mobile phone, there may be cases where the\
 images
do not appear or where it is not possible to control the camera.
1. Start up your browser and enter the following URL.
http://
192.168.100.1:80/mobile/index.html
*The underlined portion is a sample IP address:HTTP port number. Enter th\
e actual IP address and HTTP
port number that were set on the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR ( → P.3-6, 3-17).
2. Select the language (English or Japanese).
3. The sample page appears.
The sample page has been created in such a way that you can control the \
camera. Adjust the
camera direction, zoom and brightness. You can perform the operation cor\
responding to each
key by pressing the dial keys on your mobile phone.

Camera Control by Position Specification
If you use the sample pages contained on the CD-ROM, you will be able to\
 control the camera
with the same absolute position specifications as Presets.
To use the sample pages on the CD-ROM, send the files to the VB-C50i/VB-\
C50iR as described
below.
1. In Explorer etc., access vbfiles/VBC50i/mobile/VB-C50i (or VB-C50iR) o\
n theCD-ROM.
2. Copy the “mobile” folder which is displayed and send it to the VB-\
C50i/VB-
C50iR, referring to the section “Saving Web Page Data” ( → P. 5-8).
Note
● If you are going to overwrite the sample pages, please do so after you h\
ave copied
the “mobile” folder to your PC.
● Please delete the “mobile” folder beforehand if it is already save\
d in the VB-C50i/
VB-C50iR.
Overwriting Sample Pages
You can change screen displays and the content of operations by overwrit\
ing the HTML file below
the “mobile” folder on the CD-ROM.
Note
●The sample pages on the CD-ROM for the VB-C50i and VB-C50iR are differen\
t.
● To see the sample page sent in the above procedure, please access from the
following URL:
http://
192.168.100.1:80/local/mobile/index.html
*The underlined portion is a sample IP address: HTTP port number. Enter t\
he actual IP address
and HTTP port number that were set on the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR ( → P.3-6, 3-17).
POS1.htm



For example, to change the control position for Position [1], overwrite \
the underlined value in
“pos1.html”. See the table below for details of the parameters of \
the still.jpg command.

still.jpg parameters
Command Description
camera_idSpecifies the camera when you switch between cameras. 1 is this camera, \
and
2 is an external camera. When there is no specification, you are deemed \
to
have specified the current camera.
p
 or  pan Specifies the pan of the camera. p is in units of 1˚ and pan in units\
 of 0.01˚.
t or  tilt Specifies the tilt of the camera. t is in units of 1˚ and tilt in uni\
ts of 0.01˚.
z or  zoom Specifies the zoom magnification of the camera. z is ten times zoom magn\
ification
of maximum wide angle and zoom is in units of 0.01˚.
b
 or  back_light Specifies camera backlight compensation. When this parameter is set to o\
n, the
picture captured will be bright and when this parameter is set to off, t\
he picture
captured will be dark. If this parameter is omitted, camera backlight co\
mpensation
is not controlled.
v
 or  image_size Specifies image size. You can specify 160 
× 120, 320  × 240, and 640  × 480 for
NTSC, and 192  × 144, 384  × 288, and 768  × 576 for PAL. The format for v and
image_size is different. v only specifies horizontal size, e.g. v=640. i\
mage_size
specifies vertical and horizontal size, e.g. image_size=320  × 240.
option Specifies how errors are dealt with. When “skip_on_error” is speci\
fied, the process
will be continued. When “quit_on_error” is specified, the process \
will be aborted.
The following errors can occur: failure to acquire camera control right,\
 loss of
camera control, camera selection errors and camera control errors. To om\
it, the
default value is “quit_on_error”.
Tip
Specifying with the current position which appears as “d” and the \
percentage for the
current angle which appears as “c” (percentage) is also possible\
 for p (pan), t (tilt)
and z (zoom).
For example:
p=d+c100 is pan one screen to the right from the current position.
t=d-c50 is tilt half a screen lower than the current position.
z=c200 sets twice the current zoom magnification.

Using the Picture
Recording Function
This chapter describes a couple of specific examples of the
Picture Recording function using the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR. Still
images and audio files can be automatically recorded using
input from an external device, motion detection or schedule
settings.

Using the Still Picture Recording Function Linked to an External Device
By combining various sensors and switches to operate according to Extern\
al Device Input settings,
it is possible to construct a monitoring system that responds to externa\
l events. Still pictures are
recorded in the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR’s memory (→ P.3-29).
Sample Application Combining a Door-opening Sensor
This is a monitoring system in which the VB-C50iR installed in the ceili\
ng records pictures every
second for 3 seconds before the doors opens and 7 seconds after the door\
 opens between 5 p.m.
and 6 a.m. Connect the devices below to each connector of the Multi-Term\
inal Module and set up.
Please note that the Multi-Terminal Module is an optional product and is\
 sold separately.
○○ ○○○○Installation Example
When the door opens and sensor B mounted on it separates from sensor A, \
an ON event occurs
at external device inputs IN
+  and IN–. In response to this event, the VB-C50iR records pictures at
the entrance and stores them.

Using the Audio Playback/Recording* Function Linked to an External Device
* The Audio Recording function is available with two particular models (\
→ P.iii)
By using the Audio Playback and audio recording* functions in the External Device Input settings,
it is possible to construct a monitoring system that issues audio alert \
using previously saved
sounds and captures video and 
audio* in response to external events. Photographed still images
and 
recorded audio files* are stored in the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR’s memory ( → P.3-29).
Sample Application Combining a Speaker, Microphone and Door-opening Sens\
or
Each day between 5 pm. and 6 am., this monitoring system emits an audio \
alert whenever the
door opens and the VB-C50iR mounted on the ceiling records images shot a\
t 1-second intervals
from 3 seconds before the door opens to 7 seconds after the door closes.\
 It also 
records audio*
during that period. Install the devices below connected to the respectiv\
e connectors on the Multi-
Terminal Module.
○○ ○○○○Installation Example
When the door opens and sensor B mounted on it separates from sensor A, \
an ON event occurs
at external device inputs IN
+ and IN–.
In response to this event, the VB-C50iR emits the stored audio alert fro\
m the speaker with amp,
shoots and records pictures of the doorway and 
records any audio* picked up by the microphone.

Using the Still Picture Recording Function with a Predetermined Schedule\
By using the “Schedule” setting, you can construct a monitoring sy\
stem that records pictures
according to a predetermined schedule. Recorded still pictures are store\
d in the VB-C50i/VB-C50iR’s
memory (→ P.3-29).
Sample Application Using a Timer
This is a monitoring system used in art galleries and similar facilities\
 in which the exhibits are
monitored. Still pictures are captured at 10-minute intervals by a VB-C5\
0iR mounted on the ceiling.
○○ ○○○○Installation Example
Following the schedule set in advance, the VB-C50iR records and stores p\
ictures.
