User Manual of Network Fisheye Camera
Display the live video in Fisheye View, Panorama View, or PTZ View.
 Fisheye View: In the Fisheye View mode, the whole wide-angle view of the
fisheye camera is displayed. This view mode is called Fisheye View because it
approximates the vision of a fish's convex eye. The lens produces curvilinear
images of a large area, while distorting the perspective and angles of objects in
the image.
 Panorama View: In the Panorama View mode, the distorted fisheye image is
transformed to normal perspective image by some calibration methods.
 PTZ View: The PTZ View is the close-up view of some defined area in the
Fisheye View or Panorama View, and it supports the electronic PTZ function,
which is also called e-PTZ.
Note: Each PTZ View is marked on the Fisheye View and Panorama View with a
specific navigation box.
