Canon VB-S910F 2.1MP Full HD Indoor Box Camera

The Canon VB-S910F is a compact, high-performance indoor box camera that combines Canon's optical expertise with enterprise-grade security features. With 2.1-megapixel Full HD resolution at 30fps, this fixed camera delivers crisp, detailed video suitable for identification and surveillance in corporate offices, retail environments, and institutional settings. Its compact 54 x 32 x 117mm form factor enables discreet ceiling or wall mounting without consuming valuable space.

Key Features

• 2.1MP (1920 x 1080) Full HD resolution at 30fps maximum frame rate
• 3.5x optical zoom lens with autofocus (2.25-7.88mm, F1.4-F2.6)
• Advanced low-light performance: 0.95 lux (day), 0.5 lux (night monochrome)
• Digital Night Mode with intelligent day/night switching
• Multiple video compression: H.264 and JPEG with dual simultaneous streams
• PoE-powered (IEEE 802.3af, max 4.8W) for simplified installation
• Built-in microphone and audio I/O for two-way communication
• MicroSD/SDHC/SDXC card support for local recording

Technical Highlights

This camera features a 1/4.85" CMOS RGB sensor with progressive scan technology, delivering consistent image quality across varying lighting conditions. The wide horizontal viewing angle of 78.6° (wide) to 20.8° (telephoto) captures expansive areas while maintaining zoom flexibility. Adaptive Smart Shade Control with up to 7 manual levels and haze compensation ensures balanced exposure in mixed-lighting environments.

The VB-S910F supports flexible streaming configurations: up to 2x H.264 and 2x MJPEG streams simultaneously, with maximum 30 concurrent client connections. Video compression is bandwidth-efficient with target bit rate control from 64-16384 kbps. Multiple video sizes from 1920x1080 down to 320x180 provide scalable delivery options.

Intelligent Analytics & Security

Built-in video intelligence enables moving object detection, abandoned/removed object detection, camera tampering detection, passing detection, and intrusion detection across up to 15 configurable detection areas. Audio volume detection adds auditory awareness. Privacy masking supports up to 8 zones with selectable colors, and view restrictions control operator access.

Enterprise-grade security includes SSL/TLS encryption, IPsec support, IEEE 802.1X authentication (EAP-MD5/TLS/TTLS/PEAP), and dual-mode IPv4/IPv6 protocol support. User-level access control with administrator, authorized user, and guest roles ensures proper authorization hierarchies.

Connectivity & Management

100Base-TX wired Ethernet with ONVIF Profile S compliance ensures integration with industry-standard VMS platforms. Full-duplex audio communication, FTP/HTTP image upload, and event notification via HTTP/SMTP enable remote monitoring and proactive alerting. Built-in digital PTZ cropping functionality provides flexible region-of-interest monitoring.

Ideal Applications

Suited for indoor environments from -10°C to +50°C operating range, the VB-S910F serves corporate security, retail loss prevention, educational facility monitoring, and institutional access control. Its compact design and advanced optics make it ideal where space is limited and image quality cannot be compromised.

The VB-S910F represents a refined balance between optical zoom capability and compact form factor. The 3.5x optical zoom with autofocus provides flexibility without motorized PTZ complexity, while the F1.4 wide aperture and 0.5 lux night sensitivity address low-light challenges effectively. H.264 codec support minimizes bandwidth consumption—critical for facilities with multiple cameras on limited network capacity.

The dual-stream architecture allows simultaneous high-quality archival recording and lower-bitrate real-time monitoring. Built-in intelligence functions reduce false positives through configurable detection parameters rather than relying solely on external analytics. For organizations requiring compliance-ready audit trails and encrypted communications, the 802.1X and IPsec support provide necessary security hardening without third-party gateway dependencies.
