We're working on a larger report on Dallmeier, but from what I understand so far there is no direct support for the Panomera in other VMSes, at least not in a way that mirror's what you get with Dallmeier's own VMS.

Each sensor in the Panomera can output an individual stream, giving you the ability to add each to a 3rd party VMS individually. This would also mean 1 license per sensor with most VMSes, and could make viewing a portion of the image that overlapped 2 or more sensors a bit clumsy.

Dallmeier also has a streaming server that can logically sit in between the Panomera and a VMS. This device is designed to virtualize the multiple output streams into a PTZ interface. Your 3rd party VMS would connect to the streaming server and treat it like a PTZ. As you pan/tilt/zoom, the streaming server receives these commands and feeds through images from the appropriate sensor(s) to give you a 1080p substream to your VMS. The streaming server also records the full image stream from the Panomera camera, though it is not clear how you would access the recorded video through the VMS without specific plugins or integrations.

FWIW, Dallmeier is claiming ONVIF Profile S for Panomera for 'easy integration into 3rd party systems', but as Brian alludes, due to the unique nature of the system, it is unclear how well it might translate to a non-Dallmeier system.
