IP software company Milestone Systems, and ImmerVision, the firm behind the 360 degree panomorph lens, announce that Milestone has added ImmerVision Enables panomorph lens support to Milestoneโs XProtect 8 software. Panomorph optics offer 360-degree viewing with standard cameras.
"Using an open platform allows Milestone and ImmerVision ultimate flexibility to bring the most powerful and innovative products and software together to provide superior security tools to the front lines," said Alessandro Gasparini, ImmerVisionโ SVP Sales and Marketing and CCO.
360-degree Panomorph lenses can be mounted on select cameras from such manufacturers as Samsung, Sony and Panasonic, for visual verification of entire surroundings. The makers say that their lens removes blind spots, with greater optical image sensor coverage even on lower resolution cameras to spot threats, find objects left behind, and track individuals.
"Introducing the ImmerVision 360 degree technology in our newest release of XProtect Enterprise video management software means that our customers can increase their surveillance coverage even more efficiently and effectively," says Henrik Friborg, VP Strategic Alliances and Co-founder of Milestone Systems.
Milestone adds that its XProtect Enterprise is designed for medium to large-scale, multi-site installations, and features the XProtect Smart Client software application that provides access to live and recorded video.
"We have specially developed the support for this 360 degree technology in the XProtect Smart Client interface so customers can take advantage of the ImmerVision Enables panomorph lens. This is a shining example of how the Milestone true open platform allows interoperability between the best hardware and software to constantly improve situational awareness," says Lars Gudbrandsson, Head of Product Management at Milestone.
