Grundig Security reports that it’s included panomorph technology, from ImmerVision, in its Ultra HD, 6MP Fisheye, day-night camera.
The panoramic camera provides a 360 degree view, making it suitable the German makers say for overview applications in retail, garage forecourt, public space, residential and reception areas.
Grundig’s panomorph camera offers image quality, using a 6 MP, CMOS sensor with 360 degree camera and 180 degree viewing options, at up to 25 fframes per second (fps). The camera uses ‘ImmerVision Enables’ built-in de-warping software, the new 360 degree video standard, which corrects panomorph lens image distortion. The panomorph camera lens design allocates more pixels to critical areas of its view than a standard fisheye camera, such as those containing people or vehicles. It operates in demanding lighting, the makers say, due to its 0.2 / 0.02Lux sensitivity and integrated IR LED illuminators. Further image enhancement technologies include digital wide dynamic range (WDR), digital noise reduction (DNR) and back light compensation (BLC).
The 360 degree view eliminates blind spots, capturing all site incidents, in a cost-effective, single camera solution. When used in combination with fixed cameras, this cutting edge panomorph camera helps to provide optimal site coverage with fewer cameras. Privacy zone settings for restricted areas are also included.
The ImmerVision de-warped video streams can be used with NVRs and more than 50 leading video management software platforms. The camera can be set up to provide operators with one, two or four video streams or the 360 degree or 180 degree panoramic view.
A built-in SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card slot allows alarm and scheduled recording to take place in the camera and bi-directional audio offers additional incident intervention capabilities. Electronic pan, tilt and zoom functionality, in live or record modes, provides simultaneous detailed and overview images.
The Grundig panomorph camera is available in the UK through the Security Buying Group. Visit www.grundig-security.com.
