Camera Comparisons | Purchase the IP Camera | Resources
A panoramic IP camera provides a very wide unbroken view in all directions. The panoramic view can be achieved using a single sensor or an array of sensors (or cameras). The following chart compares single-sensor, multi-sensor, and multi-directional IP panoramic cameras.
The chart includes key features that help you select the right panoramic camera for your application. This includes the maximum distance for identifying a person, the low light capability and wide dynamic range. Note that the Multi-directional cameras are not considered to be panoramic, but in many cases, can be used in similar applications. It is also important to selct the right Video Recording System for these IP cameras.
We calculated the range at which you can identify a person using 80 pixels/ft. See our panoramic application article for details.

Application Notes – Panoramic Cameras
Single-Camera Panoramic Cameras: IP cameras that provide 360-degree views use special wide-angle lenses. Very wide lenses distort the image so de-warping software is required that straightens the view. Single-sensor panoramic cameras are smaller than the multi-sensor panoramic cameras but have less resolution.
Multi-sensor (or camera) Panoramic Cameras: These cameras are larger than the single-sensor camera but provide much more resolution. The cameras (or sensors) are positioned so that the software can stitch the video together to create one large panoramic image. The camera direction can not be changed. They are available with the capability for 180-degree or a 360-degree view.
Multi-Sensor, Multi-Directional Cameras: The latest cameras contain four or more high-resolution cameras (or sensors) that can be adjusted independently. These multi-direction cameras can be used in similar applications as the panoramic cameras. The difference is that these cameras do not stitch all the views together like the panoramic cameras.
