Hikvision, the video surveillance products manufacturer, has announced a Multiple Fisheye Dewarping Solution for Milestone Systems‘ XProtect with Device Pack 9.0 (and later). Hikvision’s fisheye network cameras can be integrated with Milestone’s network video management software, enabling the Milestone Smart Client to display the dewarped images captured by the fisheyes in real-time with no distortion, the firms say. Recorded video can be retrieved and played back dewarped.
Milestone customers will be able to use just a single camera to provide 360 degree wide-area surveillance coverage, without visual blind spots. The dewarping further enables access to camera viewing modes such as 180 degrees, 360 degrees, pan tilt and zoom (PTZ), PTZ-quad, and horizontal panoramic. Up to 12 views can be created in the Milestone Smart Client, with the intelligent PTZ view allowing security operators to pan, tilt and zoom through an entire scene – for a surveillance overview.
Adler Wu, Global Technology Partner Program Manager at Hikvision said: “As businesses continue to increase situational awareness, 360 degree cameras stand as one of the strongest areas of growth in surveillance industry. The integration with Milestone’s XProtect is significant for the market and for our mutual customers to obtain another high performance dewarping solution, tailored to a number of vertical markets, including retail, parking lots, transportation, gaming, campuses and interior building space applications.” And Henrik Sydbo Hansen, Group Manager, Devices and Integrations, Milestone Systems said: “The Milestone community now gains the full advantage of the new integration between Hikvision’s cameras and Milestone’s award winning open platform video management software.”
