Using the Still Picture Recording Function Linked to an External Device
By combining various sensors and switches to operate according to External Device Input settings,
it is possible to construct a monitoring system that responds to external events. Still pictures are
recorded in the VB-C50Fi’s memory (
→ P.3-28).
Sample Application Combining a Door-opening Sensor
This is a monitoring system in which the VB-C50iR installed in the ceiling 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-Terminal 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-C50Fi records pictures at
the entrance and stores them.
Tip
Please refer to the Multi-Terminal Module User’s Manual for how to connect the Multi-
Terminal Module to the VB-C50Fi.
