This new dewarping solution allows Hikvision’s fisheye network cameras to be seamlessly integrated with Milestone’s high-performance network video management software, enabling the Milestone Smart Client to display the dewarped images captured by Hikvision fisheye cameras in real-time with no distortion. Recorded video can be retrieved and played back dewarped as well.

With this new solution, Milestone customers will be able to use just a single camera to provide 360° wide-area surveillance coverage without visual blind spots. The solution delivers effective situational awareness and decreases the overall cost of cameras, installation and maintenance.

The dewarping solution further enables access to camera viewing modes such as 180°, 360°, PTZ, PTZ-quad, and horizontal panoramic. Up to 12 different views can be created in the Milestone Smart Client, with the intelligent PTZ view allowing security operators to pan, tilt and zoom through an entire scene – providing a comprehensive surveillance overview.

“As businesses continue to increase situational awareness, 360° cameras stand as one of the strongest areas of growth in surveillance industry. The integration with Milestone’s Xprotect is significant for the market and for our mutual customers to obtain another high performance dewarping solution, tailored to a number of vertical markets, including retail, car parks, transportation, gaming, campuses and interior building space applications,” said Adler Wu, Global Technology Partner Program Manager at Hikvision.

“We are very pleased about the new possibilities for the Milestone Community and customers that this announcement brings to them. The Milestone community now gains the full advantage of the new integration between Hikvision’s cameras and Milestone's award winning Open Platform Video Management Software.” Says Henrik Sydbo Hansen, Group Manager, Devices & Integrations, Milestone Systems.
