I should post an update regarding panoramic fisheye dewarping. After a bunch of research I have discovered that it's not so simple to dewarp fisheyes, and as I have discovered from firsthand camera testing, it does not work well with generic fisheye cameras not specifically designed for...

Many IP cameras have audio input/output capability. Some have microphones, some just have a microphone input, and an audio output. All of them seem to say "Merely plug in an external microphone/amplifier/speaker....." Yeah, well, where are these external amplifier/speaker options? , And...

Is there a way to clone a camera stream that is already being recorded by BI, to show a different zoomed-in portion of the original IP camera stream? I do not want to connect an additional stream connection to the IP camera directly and increase the recording storage from it, or slow down the...

I am looking for less expensive alternatives to the Panasonic WV-SFV481, a 9MP, 360 fisheye, outdoor, IP66, vandal resistant camera, rated to function to a minimum -40° C/F operating temp. Panasonic specs PDF: ftp://ftp.panasonic.com/videosurveillance/wvsfv481/wv-sfv481_specsheet.pdf It's a...

I am getting really annoyed looking at fisheye camera specifications. The amount of bullshit in the fisheye camera industry is piling up, and I'm getting tired of shoveling through it. If you have a perfectly circular lens view on a rectangular sensor, you should not claim the full sensor...

Is there any sort of guide available on what bitrates will provide a minimum quality image without blockyness for various resolutions and FPS? I am still researching ACTi even though the forum admin hates them. :laugh: I see this post about them...

(Continuation of my question regarding only Blue Iris... ) Which NVRs and competitor software to Blue Iris are capable of fisheye dewarping and PTZ simulation? Some fisheye camers can do multiple streams and internal dewarping, while the more basic fisheyes can't dewarp at all and you have to...

Does Blue Iris offer any built-in support for dewarping fisheye cameras into a more normal looking 4:3 or 16:10 or panoramic view? I see that depending on cost, some fisheye IP cameras are capable of multiple video streams, and offer direct spherical view plus dewarped views internally. For the...
