Configure Fisheye Cameras
With hemispherical lenses, fisheye cameras generate images at up to 360-degree width,
which can cover all four corners of a room or both sides of a long aisle. As the original image
captured by wide-angle lens is much distorted, to suit most monitoring purposes, the
Dewarping
process is required to alter the uneven lines and shapes before the images are
displayed. Nowadays, the fisheye cameras come in two types in terms of the
image-correction capability:
Fisheye Cameras
with
in-camera dewarping function
The dewarping takes place in camera before the video is output to the NVR server. Since
the image correction counts on the camera itself, the NVR server will not bear much extra
loading, which benefits the system requiring many of these fisheye cameras (e.g. ACTi
KCM-3911, KCM-7911)
Fisheye Cameras
without
dewarping function
These fisheye cameras output only original global images, relying on the software algorithm
processing provided by the NVR sever to correct the images. They are suitable for a system
with limited bandwidth, for the NVR server
processes and responds to User’s ePTZ
manipulation or demands for changing view modes immediately, without waiting for camera
side to deliver a new frame (e.g. ACTi E96).
The NVR 3.0 system makes it possible to integrate both kinds of fisheye cameras into your
system with the following advantages:

Note
The preset points and tour set in the NVR server are independent from those you set on device. If
you have already defined certain preset points or tour on device, they will not be brought to NVR
system. On the other hand, the settings on the NVR server will not write to the devices.
