Panoramic: Fisheye vs Multi-Imager Usage

Author: Ari Erenthal, Published on Jun 09, 2017

Panoramic cameras are a growing trend within video surveillance. The two main options are fisheye cameras using a single imager with an ultra-wide angle lens and multi-imager cameras using (typically) 4 imagers in a single housing / unit.

Both received strong support from 150 integrator respondents but one had a clear edge on the other:

Inside, we examine the three factors that cause integrators to choose fisheye, the two factors that cause integrators to choose multi-imager, and the least trusted camera manufacturer.
