180/360 degree camera
When you want to monitor as much of an area as possible with few cameras, a 360-degree camera is an excellent option. Because you can monitor all directions at once, this type of camera is ideal for practical applications in retail and banking, or in commercial and industrial environments. At Alarm SystemExpert, you will find several high-quality models of 360-degree cameras at an excellent price. In addition, we also have some 180-degree cameras available.
360 or 180 degree camera
You can choose between a 360 or 180 degree camera, but which variant is most suitable in your situation? A 360-degree camera can naturally record a larger portion of the environment compared to a 180-degree camera. A 180-degree camera, on the other hand, is ideal for smaller areas. By using a 360 or 180 degree camera of Hikvision in a strategic location, you can reduce the number of surveillance cameras. However, get proper advice on this! Although 360-degree cameras today produce excellent quality, there is less detail on the images than with a more traditional HD IP camera, such as a PTZ camera, bullet camera or dome camera.
How does a 180/360 degree camera work?
A 180 or 360 degree camera generally works with one or more fisheye lenses, whose warped image is immediately "straightened" again with software. This image can also be split if necessary, so that a single 360-degree camera gives the same result as two or more traditional cameras. The advantage of so-called "single lens/single sensor" systems is that they do not have a blind spot under the mounting point. This does exist in systems where multiple cameras are used to create a 360-degree image.
180/ 360 camera outside
Especially if you want to monitor a wide area, an outdoor 360-degree camera is an excellent choice. Thanks to infrared lights and a day/night filter, a detailed image can also be displayed at night. For a 360-degree camera you want to use outdoors, it is important that it has at least an IP66 rating. This rating indicates that a camera can withstand harsh weather conditions, such as torrential rain.
