The product manufacturers Pelco by Schneider Electric and Oncam Grandeye have partnered to deliver the Evolution 360-degree camera range.
With this new product offering, Pelco says that it continues to expand its IP camera solutions, by incorporating Oncam Grandeye’s 360-degree camera and patented dewarping software to provide a camera range with total situational awareness. The dewarping feature allows users to go back in time to view after the event the total scene in its original form and then pan, tilt and/or zoom (PTZ) within the 360-degree image, as if it were a live image. Multiple users can view the same image, with different perspectives, concurrently from a single camera, either live or recorded.
The Evolution 360-degree cameras, IP cameras with 5-megapixel sensors and no moving parts, are compatible with most applications including cities, retail and gaming rooms. Features include:
When integrated into Pelco’s video management software and other compatible platforms, the firms say this provides total coverage with no blind spots and an unobstructed field of view that enables multiple angles of any scene, including both 180-degree and 360-degree panoramas, with PTZ.
Multiple users
Having this integrated into the NVR allows multiple operators to track multiple threats from a single camera, live or recorded. Camera dDesigns are available in concealed, outdoor, or indoor options.
Hervé Fages, senior vice president, Schneider Electric, Pelco Video Line of Business, said: “Partnering with Oncam Grandeye to deliver the Evolution 360-degree camera range brings innovation and value to Pelco’s IP camera portfolio, offering client-side dewarping both live and retrospectively. This partnership enables us to support our customers by minimising their blind spots in surveillance and by developing practical solutions that will secure their critical assets and deliver real value. All of this is backed by Pelco’s amazing service and support.”
And Greg Alcorn, senior vice president, Business Development, Oncam Grandeye, said: “This is an exciting partnership. We are delighted Pelco has recognized the quality of our 360-degree technology and the value it brings to its customers as it seeks to meet the growing demand for this technology in the market place.”
Later this year, the line Evolution camera range will expand to include 12 megapixel cameras. For more visit: www.pelco.com/panoramic
