The Panomera multifocal sensor systems differ from other cameras in that they combine a total overview with an unlimited number of detail zooms in high resolution. The detail zooms can simply be opened in the overall image with a click of the mouse, like "virtual” PTZ cameras – not only live but also in the recording. This is made possible by the patented use of up to eight sensors with different focal lengths in a single system. In this way, a much greater expanse can be captured with each camera. In the words of the manufacturer, this results not only in significantly improved operability and overview, but also saves up to 50% or more in operating and infrastructure costs depending on the application area.

Besides the advantages in image capture and operation, the latest Panomera generation is set apart by its superior analysis capabilities as they combine a precisely plannable/definable image quality (and therewith data quality) with the most advanced analysis technology.

In traditional single sensor as well as multi-sensor camera technologies, image resolution – and thus also analytical capability – diminishes continuously in the direction of the image background. In contrast to this, the cameras of the Panomera S-Series capture a very large expanse or long distances with a minimum resolution over the entire area. Panomera is therefore able to monitor and analyse complex context with the same high data quality even over extremely large expanses.

Each of the up to eight sensors in a Panomera is equipped with an analysis unit of the latest SoC generation with integrated Artificial Intelligence (AI), so that the analysis can be carried out directly in the camera (on the edge), from people counting through to "Appearance Search". Users can operate the Panomera cameras either with the Dallmeier Hemisphere Semsy video management system (VMS) or with any VMS systems that support ONVIF.

Full installation and adjustment is achievable with just an Allen key via the "Mountera" mounting concept, which offers enormous time savings and fewer errors during implementation: A special "Quick-Lock" rapid fastening system allows the systems to be installed by a single technician.

Besides the dynamic appearance, particular attention was also paid to innovative functions. These include a passive cooling system, which renders auxiliary cooling unnecessary for temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. A system called "Air Blast", which uses compressed air to clean dust, water and insects off the lens without contact and therefore without wear is also available as an option. Dallmeier’s “Privacy Shield” is responsible for active and largely visible data protection.

Dieter Dallmeier, Founder & CEO of Dallmeier electronic says. "Because Panomera systems not only enhance operation and the attainment of security objectives in video observation and surveillance, most particularly they also provide superior quality data for the increasingly important function of video analysis. The fact that these solutions can then also be implemented for substantially lower overall cost than comparable technologies surprises many of our customers time and time again."
