Oncam launches the Evolution of 180 degree camera product range

Oncam has announced the addition of the Evolution 180 product range to its portfolio, building upon the experience and heritage of the company's 360-degree technology. The company claims that the addition of the panoramic 180-degree camera range meets the needs of customers in a variety of markets that require a purpose-built wall-mounted camera with Panoramic+ views from a single sensor.

Environments that benefit from this unique view include education, hospitality, casinos, banking, retail and transportation, which demand to monitor large walkways, open spaces and corridors without blind spots.

The Evolution 180 range offers a 12MP sensor and a 6MP dewarped panoramic image with Oncam’s Angle Compensation Technology which provides adaptive dewarping. The company claims that it is a true day/night camera which doesn't require SDK dewarping as the Panoramic+ view is created natively in the camera. The solution is ONVIF Profile S compliant for added integration flexibility with the video management systems on the market.

The Evolution 180 camera range comes with the Indoor model and is available in two colour variants — black or white, and a robust and attractive outdoor model will be available in April.

“Customer demand for a dedicated high-quality 180-degree technology was the driving force in the development of our latest product. They wanted a camera that was tailor-made for true panoramic views. Currently, 180-degree views in the market are created with a single sensor 360-degree camera in panorama mode, which isn’t an ideal approach as it doesn’t allow the use of the full width of the sensor.” said Jon Marsh, Vice President of Product, Oncam.
