Panoramic camera application features

It has been more than a decade since the development of the panoramic camera, but the real promotion has only started in the past two years. Because of its high price, complicated image processing technology, and low resolution after image correction, the panoramic camera did not enter the public's life like any other ordinary camera, but was mainly located in the professional application market. Scene environment or where vertical installation is easy.

Compared with traditional surveillance cameras, the advantages of panoramic cameras include:

Ultra-wide surveillance perspective: A fisheye lens takes 360-degree panoramic views, which can replace traditional multiple cameras: users only need a dedicated fisheye lens to directly view the entire space, and the surrounding images can be seen once and for all. Eliminate dead ends.

Reduced Cost: This 360-degree panoramic surveillance capability of the panoramic camera eliminates the need to install multiple cameras to cover the entire surveillance area, thereby saving camera hardware investment. The number of surveillance camera channels is greatly reduced, which can save the cost of supporting equipment such as lenses, protective covers, wiring, power supply, video, display, etc., and can also reduce the difficulty of construction wiring, saving installation time, labor costs, and subsequent maintenance costs. .

Virtual PTZ technology: Using virtual PTZ technology, it can enlarge or move the image area in the surveillance field of view. When the direction of transition is observed in another image area, it will not emit any noise, which is secretive and difficult to detect. Because there are no mechanical moving parts and no mechanized operation is required at any time, the panoramic camera will not suffer any wear, and the product will be durable and its service life will be greatly extended. The image distortion correction of the panoramic view can be performed on a plurality of image regions. Thus, unlike the mechanical PTZ camera, the panoramic camera can simultaneously observe and record a plurality of different regions.
