1 Overview
The Oncam Evolution 05 Mini IP Series cameras are innovative and use a fisheye lens to create
a 360° view with an extremely large area of coverage. The Oncam 360° IP camera may replace
two or more conventional fixed cameras for seamless coverage of an entire scene with no gaps
or blind spots. The ability to see in all directions at once makes Oncam 360° IP cameras ideally
suited for total situational awareness.
The 5‐megapixel sensor produces enough detail to allow digital pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) operations
over the entire field of view (FoV). Unlike conventional PTZ cameras, Oncam 360° IP cameras
are silent. Oncam 360° IP cameras have no mechanical motors or gears prone to wear and
failure. The camera produces three types of views, each suited to a particular set of
requirements.
The Evolution 05 Mini design allows for easy and fast installation with a range of mounting
accessories for ceilings, walls, pendants and poles.
1.1 Fisheye View
The high quality fisheye lens produces a spherical image from which derive all other views. The
raw image appears warped around a central axis. Special dewarping software built into the
NVR / VMS converts the spherical image into a flat view that is more familiar to human viewers.
When using video management software (VMS) to record a fisheye video stream, the entire
image is preserved. You can retrospectively look at all directions regardless of the live or
recorded viewed area after an incident.
1.2 Panoramic View
When using compatible VMS or NVR software integrated with the Oncam dewarping SDK, it is
possible to generate a double 180-degree panoramic view from fisheye overview. The fisheye
image is dewarped and split into two 180-degree bands for simpler viewing of the overall
image.
Note: Due to the dewarping image cropping, the area directly underneath the camera is not
visible. The camera does not generate the 180-degree panoramic view. The camera requires a
compatible client machine with software to produce this panoramic view.
1.3 Camera Range
Configure the camera module for either an H.264 or MJPEG single stream.
10 FPS (maximum) with a frame size of 2144 x 1944 pixels (4 MP)
15 FPS (maximum)with a frame size of 1488 x 1360 pixels (2 MP)
30 FPS (maximum) with a frame size of 1056 x 960 pixels (1 MP)
30 FPS (maximum) with a frame size of 528 x 480 pixels (1/4 MP)
Enable and configure a second H.264 fisheye stream. If enabling the second stream, the
maximum frame rates are reduced for both the main and second stream.
Simultaneously access a third MJPEG stream at a fixed FPS and a frame size of 528 x 480
pixels (1/4 MP).
1.4 Power Requirements
Supply power using IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) through the RJ45 or M12 cable.

2 Camera Placement and Orientation
Camera placement is an important factor when planning your deployment. The Evolution 05 Mini
camera has an exceptionally wide viewing angle. Consider the camera location for providing
comprehensive coverage of a wide area. Mount the camera with an unobstructed view and
consider scene optimization when one portion of the scene is bright and another dark.
The camera supports three different mounting orientations, Ceiling, Wall and Table. Each of
these options require correct orientation settings selected from the Camera Web Interface. These
camera settings ensure using the correct dewarping algorithm when connecting to a compatible
VMS or NVR system.
2.1 Ceiling Mount
Ceiling mounting is preferred when most
of the action is occurring below the
camera in a horizontal plane. When a
person is directly below the camera,
captured is the top‐of head view. When
the person moves away from the
camera, more of their face and body
becomes visible.
Depending on the use case, use a single
camera to cover a small to medium sized
room. Mounting a camera high gives
great situational awareness throughout a
large room. When planning coverage
ensure there are no obstructions. Some
obstructions include pillars, high-sided
furniture and any hanging objects near
the camera such as signage.
2.2 Wall Mount
Wall mounting the camera can give a
complete 180-degree side on view of an
area. Use this view where ceiling
mounting is not possible or if you need to
capture a higher level of detail for objects
closer to the camera (such as people’s
faces as they walk past the camera).

2.3 Table Mount
Install the Table Mount camera on a flat
surface looking up. This configuration is
for demonstration or testing purposes.
You could use the Table Mount for
inspecting systems or viewing under
vehicles.
2.4 Coverage Area
The Evolution 05 Mini cameras provide coverage for open areas where situational awareness
of people and objects are required.
The higher camera placement provides a larger coverage area. However, with higher camera
placement a reduction in the pixel density is expected. Height impacts the image detail
available, therefore ensure you consider image quality versus the mounting height.
Perform tests to ensure that the camera meets the system operational requirements and the
required detail level is available.
Use a minimum height of 2 m (6.5 ft.) when ceiling mounting a camera for best results.
For multiple camera layouts, ensure the camera areas overlap for full coverage.
2.5 Overhead Viewing Angle
Ceiling‐mounted cameras capture a top‐of‐head shot when the person is directly under the
camera. Hats extend that top-of‐head zone to some degree. Consider the viewing angle when
requiring people identification or recognition.
2.6 Lighting
Avoid bright light sources pointing towards the camera lens. Always face lighting away from the
camera or above the camera installation line (if ceiling mounted).
Adjust the auto-sensor in the camera from the Web Interface. Using auto-sensor adjusts the
camera continuously to optimize the image by increasing exposure time. Furthermore, the
maximum frame rate is reduced as exposure time increases. The image remains in full color
until below one Lux, after which it transitions to black and white for better contrast.
The Indoor Night camera automatically switches to night mode, doubling the exposure time in
progressive steps to maximize light sensitivity. The frame rate is halved accordingly. The image
is rendered in black and white for better contrast. Optionally, use motion‐sensing lights to
illuminate the scene: The Indoor Night camera quickly adjusts when lights turn on.

3 Camera Installation
For installation of your Oncam Evolution 05 camera, provided are the following instructions.
Reference the Camera Web Interface, page 24 for a more detailed features and functionality.
3.1 Preparation
Document the camera’s location and MAC address for camera configuration. Find the MAC
address on a sticker on the side and rear of the camera module.
3.1.1 Inserting an microSD card
Configure a microSD card for recording alarm-triggered
events. The microSD card slot is located on the edge of
the camera module.
Compatible SD cards
microSD, microSDHC, microSDXC
Up to 128 GB maximum capacity
The camera uses the format EXT3, while most microSD
cards use the format FAT32. Therefore, it is necessary
to format the microSD card to EXT3 prior to using the
first time.
Use the camera to format the microSD card for an EXT3 file system using the Camera Web
Interface. See Recordings, page 37.
In addition, you may use a computer to format several microSD cards for an EXT3 file system.
While additional software is required, this method may be faster.
3.2 Indoor & Indoor Night Cameras
The Evolution 05 Mini Indoor camera is designed for
quick and easy installations. Install the Mini Indoor
camera anywhere a professional lightweight
enclosure is required. A range of mounting
accessories includes an IK10 vandal-proof cover
and pendant mount adapter.
Use the enclosure for indoor use in surface mount
installations. The indoor camera consists of the
polymer base and cover.
The Evolution 05 Mini Indoor camera comes fitted
with an RJ45 flying lead for connectivity to data and
PoE.
NOTICE: The Indoor Night camera requires an 850 nm infrared light source and passes visible,
and near infrared light (850 nm).
