The panomorph lens from ImmerVision captures a high-resolution 360-degree hemispherical real-time view with no blind spots. With a resolution of 5 megapixels, video images remain crisp and clear right to the edge of the picture.

Advanced dewarping technology corrects for distortion of hemispheric images, producing rectangular images with video management software (VMS). Image quality is far higher than using conventional fisheye lenses: this avoids image degradation typically caused by camera processing limitations during the dewarping process.

Navigate rapidly to any part of the scene with digital pan, tilt, and zoom (ePTZ) of the 5 megapixels image for a closer view of what’s happening, while recording of the whole 360-degree scene continues uninterrupted.

Alongside the camera’s original 360-degree hemispheric view, select from multiple simultaneous images including 180-degree panoramic view, quad view and 9-way split-screen that includes the original camera view surrounded by 8 other regional images.

True Day/Night function automatically switches the camera between Day (colour) and Night (B/W) modes, depending on light levels. This increases sensitivity and allows use of IR illumination thanks to the IR corrected lens.

Select CBR (constant bitrate), VBR (variable bitrate) or VBR-with-cap compression modes for optimised recording quality depending on IP network conditions, plus G.711/AAC (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz) audio codecs for high-quality recording.

Edge Storage allows recording of video and audio directly to an optional micro SD card for later analysis.

Protects the camera from unwanted tampering and destructive behaviour.

The camera is ideal for indoor use as well as outdoor locations where dust and water ingress may be encountered.

Ideal for use in summer heat or freezing conditions, the camera can operate reliably over a wide -30C to +50C temperature range.

Capture crisp, clear audio to hear exactly what’s happening in the camera’s vicinity. An optional speaker can also be added via the camera’s audio output for playback of recorded announcements or two-way communication with an operator.

For easy integration with a range of VMS solutions the SNC-HM662 supports H.264 (High/Main/Baseline Profile) /JPEG video codecs and G.711/AAC (32 kHz, 44.1 kHz) audio codecs. This provides compatibility and choice to suit many applications.

Configuration of network settings is made quick and simple using the supplied SNC Easy IP Setup Guide application.

Support for ONVIF Profile-S simplifies integration with a wide range of VMS platforms and hardware, providing video streaming and camera control. ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) defines a common protocol for the exchange of information between network video devices, including automatic device discovery and video streaming.
