New from Dallmeier are 180- and 360-degree versions of the Panomera W series, for monitoring indoors and outdoors, the German product manufacturer says.
In the new Panomera W8 (360 degree) and W4 (180 degree), the images from the individual sensors are merged by the Dallmeier operating software in such a way that the operator is presented with a logical, almost entirely rectified panoramic overview. The cameras even reproduce the area directly below the housing in high resolution. In principle any number of operators can zoom into a scene at the same time, and the total overview image is retained at all times; live and in the recording. In this way, data or evidence is not lost. If several systems are used at the same time, objects can be tracked across multiple camera systems – or the same scene can be examined from various viewpoints.
The Regensburg-based manufacturer adds that the small number of cameras needed to cover a site helps to save costs in all aspects, from planning to operation and service. This in turn yields advantages for all involved and all stages of a project, the firm adds. Situation assessments are made with a few clicks of the mouse for object tracking across multiple cameras. Operating even a large number of cameras as a total system enables large spatial relationships to be monitored much more efficiently.
Since considerably fewer cameras are needed than for comparable solutions, the costs for masts, installation, cables and cable-laying or mounting points are also reduced. At sites with limited bandwidth, on request, the optional “junction box” can be equipped with up to four terabytes of memory, thereby dispensing with the need for routing new cables and network components. A “quick lock” mounting enables the same cameras to be swapped between locations, for example if crime hotspots are to be observed at different times in an urban setting.
For installers, the integrated, newly developed “Mountera” mounting concept of the Panomera W requires only one Allen key size to complete the installation. For system planning, proprietary 3D software suite has been developed by the manufacturer, to create a “digital twin”. This way, hidden spots in the field of view can be circumvented, cameras and auxiliary components can be positioned and the minimum resolution density over the entire area can be planned precisely. The “CamCards” generated by the planning detail mounting information and cut friction losses during commissioning.
Dieter Dallmeier, Founder and CEO, Dallmeier electronic says: “When tendering, it is not the cheapest system that is required, but the solution that can be operated most economically. Therefore, when deciding for a video security solution it is essential to perform a total cost assessment and not to be distracted by ostensibly low prices of the individual components. We consistently adhered to this guideline during development of the new Panomera W series and we have developed a system which provides the greatest possible economy over the full spectrum of its aspects. On the functional level, solutions of the Panomera W series also provide a total overview of large spatial relationships which hitherto did not exist on the market in this form.”
