VK-16 Version 1.3 Network Video Recording software has been developed to support the VB-C300 PTZ camera as a more affordable alternative to the VK-64 Version 1.3 software. It adds additional control features and improved usability while retaining backwards compatibility to work with the VB-C50i, VB-C50iR, VB-C50Fi and VB-C50FSi Network Cameras. With this new software, a wider range of security monitoring challenges can be met with a Canon Network Video Solutions system. Unlike tape-based recording, this solution allows video to be stored, managed, and accessed by a computer, for simplified archiving and playback. When used in combination with other Canon Network Video Solutions products, a security administrator has a powerful, comprehensive system for monitoring and recording.
