OmniView - 360° Video Monitoring System

OmniView provides real - time 360º panoramic video monitoring. The OmniView system consists of Fisheye Lens (FEL), video camera, firewire, and OmniView (unwrapping) software. While using only a single camera, and FEL lens, the proprietary OmniView software unwraps the real - time video image into a seamless distortion free horizontal viewing zone. This system is compatible with PC based systems (PC not included).

POC currently offers a variety of cameras - super high resolution (2352 x 1728), high resolution (1280 x 1024), or NTSC (720 x 480) pixel resolution.

OmniView can be adapted to work with IR and digital still cameras. OmniView is an adaptive system which can be tailored to the internet, video compression, wired or wireless systems.
