Immervision

Immervision manufactures lenses that work with existing IP or analog security cameras to provide 360 degree, panoramic lenses. Additional software (provided free) is required for the video management system displaying cameras with Immervision's lenses. Unlike Grandeye or Mobotix which offer similar solutions, Immervision's advantage is that it can work with any camera rather than requiring a specialized camera. Pricing for the Immervision lens is under $800 MSRP and currently supports up to 1.3 Megapixel cameras.
