I have one channel left on an NVR, and a 180-degree camera would be most effective for the coverage required. Do most multi-sensor cameras output as multiple streams, or do they usually stitch the image internally and send as a single stream?
Do 180-Degree Cameras Typically Require More Than One VMS Channel?
It varies by manufacturer:
Stitchers
- Axis
- Pelco
- ICRealtime
- Scallop
- Digital Watchdog
Stitchless
- Arecont
- Avigilon
- Mobotix
- Stardot
Unverified. :)
Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I heard from the NVR manufacturer this morning, he says the Arecont ones are supported and work on a single channel.
Disclosure: I am a DW Representative
Off course Panzilla will be stitched/one license in DW Spectrum and multi-streamed to other VMS
Just meaning that they provide nothing that 'stictches' together all the imagers into one stream which can then be viewed on one channel like Matt was asking.
I haven't checked in a while to make sure they don't have one now though, has that changed?
The NVR manufacturer told me that all Arecont models are supported on a single input...
Yes they do!
Not only do they stitch them into one stream for you, they fully support the latest Arecont Spurious Sensor Inversion 9:
Why Arecont doesn't provide a stitched view, I'm not sure. CPU?
