The Vivotek megapixel fisheye camera provides 180° panoramic view or 360° surround view without blind spots, whilst the Vivotek speed dome provides fast, precise pan/tilt/zoom movement using its sophisticated mechanisms and captures details in quality imaging. Suitable applications for the panoramic PTZ include department stores, station lobbies, airports, parking areas, and any wide open spaces where comprehensive video surveillance systems and the capability for extreme video detail are essential.

The combination of a fisheye global view and a speed dome accomplishes a seamless surveillance solution in which the fisheye camera's global view is used as the "command" unit to detect events over an entire area, and the speed dome acts as the "slave" to track and zoom in on suspicious objects for detail at up to 1080p resolution with 20X optical zoom. In both the panoramic as well as surround view, users can utilise the ultra-smooth PTZ function to easily zoom in and focus on a region of interest (ROI) via a mouse to track the object of interest, allowing monitoring of a wide open area with ease. By activating the auto tracking feature, the level of operation is increased as the fisheye is used to trigger the speed dome to track moving objects within a wide area before an operator may be aware of suspicious activity.

Most importantly, Vivotek Panoramic PTZ saves on the overall cost of the surveillance system, effectively reducing the number of cameras, labour cost of installation, power consumption, and following maintenance expenses.
