Overview
360°IPcamerabasics
OncamGlobal’sIPseriescamerasarebasedonaninnovativetechnologythatusesafisheyelenstocreatea360°view
withanextremelylargeareaofcoverage.Withproperplacement,theOncam360°IPcameracan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.ButunlikeconventionalPTZcameras,Oncam360°IPcamerasaresilent.Therearenomechanicalmotorsandgears
whicharepronetowearandeventualfailure.Thecameraproducesthreetypesofviews,eachsuitedtoaparticularset
ofrequirements.
Fisheyeview
Thehighqualityfisheyelensproducesasphericalimagefromwhichallotherviewsarederived.Therawimageappears
warpedaroundacentralaxis.Specialdewarpingsoftwareisbuiltintothecameratoconvertthesphericalimageintoa
viewwhichismorefamiliartohumanviewers.Whenusingvideomanagementsoftware(VMS)torecordafisheyevideo
stream,theentireimageispreserved,allowingyoutolookatalldirections,regardlessoftheareabeingviewedwhen
theincidentoccurred.
VirtualPTZcameras(VCam)
Whenyouzoomintoafisheyeimage,thecamerabecomesavirtualPTZ,whichcanbemovedthroughouttheentire360°
scene.Infact,therearefour(4)VCamsavailablefromthecamera,soyoucanmonitordifferentareasinthescene
simultaneously,eachwithindependentPTZ,imagecontrols,andmotion‐detectionsettings.MultipleVCamresolutions
areavailable.Acompositeviewshowingall4VCamsatonceisalsoavailable.
Panoramaviews
Thepanoramaviewmapstheentire360°imageontoalong,widestripthatspreadsthesceneoutformorenatural
viewing.Thereisalsoamodethatcreatestwo180°panoramas,whichrepresentthetopandbottom(wallmount)or
forwardandrear(ceilingortablemount)viewsofthecamera.Panningthroughapanoramaissimilartorotatingyour
entirebodytocenteronadifferentpartoftheview.
Multi‐streaming/Multi‐user
AllOncamcamerasarecapableofsupplyingupto20videostreamsofdifferentformatsandresolutionsatthesame
time.Thisallowsmultipleuserstosimultaneouslyaccessthecamera,andcanbeusedbyVMSsoftwaretodisplaymore
thanonevideostreamatatime.
WhatisIPZoom?
TheOncamIPZoom360°cameraisabletosynchroniseviewswithaco‐locatedIPPTZcameraviaacomputerwith
IPZoomsoftware.SimplyclickanywhereinthepanoramaorfisheyeviewfromtheIPZoom360°camera,andthe
associatedIPPTZcamerawilljumptothatlocationforaclose‐upview.Availableintwomodels,theconceal‐mounting
modelisforindooruse,andtheIP67‐ratedminidomemodelcanbeusedforeitheroutdoororindoorapplications.
PleaserefertotheOncamIPZoomCameraandSoftwareInstallationandOperationsManualforamoredetailed
explanationonIPZoomsoftwareinstallation,featuresandfunctionality.

Ceiling,table,orwallmounted?
Ifyourgoalistoprovidecomprehensivecoverageofaverywidearea,thenlookforamountingpositionwithan
unobstructedview.Ceilingmountingispreferredifmostoftheactionisoccurringbelowyouonahorizontalplane.A
goodexampleisanindoorshoppingmallorhotellobby.
Smalltomid‐sizedroomscanbeveryeffectivelycoveredwithasinglecameraplacedinthemiddleoftheceiling.Use
oneormoreVCamviewstomonitordoorways,customerservicecounters,orotherareasofspecialinterest.Atop‐of‐
headshotiscapturedwhensomeonestandsdirectlybelowthecamera,butmuchmoreoftheirfaceandbodywill
becomevisibleastheymoveawayinanydirection.
Ifyouwanttogetclosertoasubjecttoseeundertheirhatsandhair,thenawall‐mountedpositionisbest.Wall
mountingsbelow1.8metres(6feet)canbeobstructedbypeoplewalkingbyand,ifthecameraismountedtoohigh,the
upperportionoftheviewiswasted.
Verticallyorientedscenes,suchasescalatorsandcityscapes,areverywellsuitedtowallmounting.Theidealshotwillbe
foundsomewherenearthemiddleheightandfarenoughawayfromtheobjecttogetafullview.Thispositionplacesan
equalamountoftheviewaboveandbelowthemid‐line.
Transportationapplicationsshoulduseawall‐mountconfigurationforviewsoutsideofthevehicle.Ceilingmountingis
oftennotpracticalbecauseitisdifficulttogetthecamerahighenoughabovetheground.Forviewsinsidethevehicle,a
ceiling‐mountedcameraisquiteacceptable.
Tablemountingisamodeforupward‐pointingplacementsandiswellsuitedtoconferencerooms,whereacentrally
mountedcameracanviewallparticipantsseatedaroundatable.


Someexamples

Oneceiling‐mountedcameracancoveran
entireroom.

Awall‐mountedcameraworkswellforclose‐up
viewsandlow‐angleshots.

Theareaofcoveragecanbeenormousfora
camerathatismountedhighabovetheground.
Thisoneis10storieshigh,yetcarsandpeopleon
thestreetbelowarestillvisible.

Zonesofcoverage
Allcameralenseshavetotradeofffocallengthversusangleofview.Thisisespeciallytrueforhemisphericfisheyelenses
wheretheviewingangleis180°ineverydirection.Thefinedetailandhigh‐pixelcountrequiredforfacerecognitionor
licenseplatereadingislimitedtoclose‐upviews,howeverthereisaverybroadsectionoftheviewwheredetectionand
identificationcanoccur.
Close‐up:
60cmto3metres
(2to10feet)
Atthisrangefaceswillbeclearlyvisibleandwelldefined.Forexample,adoorcameramounted
60cmto3metresfromtheentrancewouldbeabletoidentifyavisitorandseeallsidesofthe
doorwheresomeonecouldbehiding.
Identification:
3to9metres
(10to30feet)
Peopleandobjectsareidentifiablebasedonclothing,makeandmodelofcar,bodytypeand
othercriteriafrom3to9metres.Whenusedatacustomerservicedesk,youshouldbeableto
identifywhowaspresentforeachtransaction.
Recognition:
9to15metres
(30to50feet)
Faceswillbeindistinct,butclothing,bodytypeandbehaviourwillbedistinguishableat9to15
metres.Ifapersonisanemployeeorsomeoneyouknow,theywillprobablyberecognizable.
Applicationsincludeparkinglots,lobbiesandpublicareas.
Situational
Awareness:
15metres
(50+feet)
Beyond15metresthesubjectwillbequitesmall,butmotiondetectionandtrackingalgorithms
stillworkatthisrange(andallpriorzones).Usethisdistanceforperimetercontrol,break‐in
detection,andtrafficmonitoring.TheIPZoom360°cameracanusethisviewtosignalanIPPTZ
cameratozoominforaclose‐upview.
