5.11 Other Configurations

Fisheye

NOTE!

This function is available to fisheye cameras only.

Choose to decode live videos by hardware decoding or software decoding.

1. Hardware Decoding

Hardware decoding is to decode the obtained live videos by the camera itself. On the Hardware tab, you can set the mount method and display mode, and configure the stream type for each channel.

Table 5-1 Mount Method

Icon		Description
		Ceiling Mount
		Wall Mount
		Desktop Placement

Table 5-2 Display Mode

Icon	Description
	Fisheye. Displays the original image, fisheye stream, the raw image captured by the sensor. This mode uses a wide-angle view, close to the convex eye view of a fish, to produce a large curved image while distorting the perspective and angle of objects in the image.
	Fisheye+4PTZ. For PTZ streams, you can use the direction button on the screen to adjust the PTZ direction.
	Panoramic. Displays the panoramic view, converting the original image to a rectangular image by certain calibration methods.When the mount method isCeiling Mount() and the display mode isPanoramic, you can choose to split the image horizontally or vertically. Additionally, you can set the dewarping angle. Range: 0-90°.0° : Closest to the center of the fisheye, with the least distortion.90° : Furthest from the center of the fisheye, with the largest distortion.

2. Software Decoding

Software decoding is to decode live videos using the PC where the browser is located. Its performance is depending on the decoding capability of the PC.

Click on the live view image to open/close the software decoding panel.

• When the mount method is Ceiling Mount, you can choose the following display methods: Original Image, 360°Panoramic+1PTZ, 180°Panoramic, Fisheye+3/4/8PTZ, and 360°Panoramic+6PTZ.
• When the mount method is Wall Mount, you can choose the following display methods: Original Image, Panoramic, and Panoramic+3/4/8PTZ.

NOTE!

When using the hardware decoding, you can switch to software decoding only when the display method is the original image.

Table 5-3 Display Method

Icon		Description
		Original image.
		360° pamoramic+1PTZ. Each block can be dragged to view and interact with each other.

Icon			Description
			180° panoramic view. Split the fisheye view into two windows. You can drag to view the image horizontally.
			Fisheye+3/4/8PTZ. Every block can be dragged to view, making it easy to locate locally and globally.
			360° panoramic view+6PTZ.
			Panoramic view+3/4/8PTZ.

CAUTION!

When the mount method of fisheye camera is Ceiling Mount or Desktop Placement, the panoramic image (double 180° image) is the dewarping image of the fisheye image (360° image). Please select the appropriate mounting angle according to the actual monitoring view requirements.

Example: If the device is mounted on the ceiling of a hall, and the angle between the tail cable hole (LOGO) on the bottom of the device and the target is approximately 135^ clockwise, the dected target can be displayed on the center top of the panoramic view.
