Panomorph lens

by Mark Rowe

Arecont Vision, the US IP megapixel camera company, announced the latest addition to the company’s MegaBall 2 camera series at IFSEC 2014.

The new MegaBall 2 with an ImmerVision Panomorph lens can capture 180 degree and 360 degree fields of view with dewarping to provide up to four times more angular resolution in peripheral areas of a scene than conventional fisheye lenses, according to the company.

Raul Calderon, Senior Vice President, Arecont Vision, said: “The new MegaBall 2 Panomorph cameras provide our customers with highly cost-effective solutions for applications that can benefit from wide area coverage but do not demand the precision of one of our higher-end, industry leading SurroundVideo panoramic megapixel cameras. There are many applications in the SMB and retail markets where our new MegaBall 2 Panomorph provides the ideal balance of performance and cost-efficiency that conventional single sensor fisheye cameras simply do not satisfy.”

The new MegaBall 2 Panomorph is a 5-megapixel camera in a tamper resistant housing. Features include day-night operation, H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10)/MJPEG dual encoders, privacy masking, motion detection with 1024 distinct motion detection zones, a binning function for more light sensitivity, flexible cropping to adjust image sizes and the ability to choose PoE (Power over Ethernet) or external power.

The Panomorph cameras are available in wall, surface and flush mount configurations in light gray and black housings.
