If the cablelength exceeds 15 meters (49 ft. 2 19 /32 in.), system operation is no longerguaranteed.● The video cable supplied with the Canon Communication Camera VC-C4/is mounted in the VB101 file system as a directory called "/card". The content data isstored as files in the /card/htdocs directory (file names made up of eight alphanumericcharacters followed by a three-character extension). Data can also be stored in theflash memory built into the VB101. However, due to the limited available space (550kilobytes), only the minimum required amount of data can be stored.VC-C4R, VC-C3 and VC-C1 MK II is compatible with the RCA pin-jack. Toconnect these cameras to a BNC socket, use a third party Pin → BNCconversion adapter. (→ P.19)● To connect a RS-232C cable to the VC-C4/VC-C4R, use the IN socket.DeviceOn-board flashmemoryFile system(accessed by file operations or by an ftp client)ftp://IP address/htdocsURL(accessed from a Web browser)http://IP address/● Though daisy-chain connections are possible under the VC-C4/VC-C4RFlash memory cardftp://IP address/card/htdocshttp://IP address/opt/specifications, only one camera can be connected to each socket since aVB101 does not support daisy-chain connections.cNote● To use a Web browser as an FTP client:Insert "user name: password@" before the IP address, as in "ftp://root:VB101@192.168.100.1/card/htdocs".
