DW Spectrum provides advanced capabilities to operate with fish-eye cameras. Such cameras use a specific type of lens that can cover a much larger viewing area. This particular type of lens warps a picture and a de-warping algorithm must be enabled to display the picture correctly:

Note: It is possible to configure Cameras for Administrators and Viewers with an appropriate permission level.

In order for DW Spectrum to distinguish cameras with fish-eye lens, the following configuration must be performed:

1.Open Camera Settings and go to General.

2.Check This is the fish-eye lens camera to activate the Dewarping tab:

3.Go to the Dewarping tab to select Camera's orientation:

The type of de-warping algorithms that are applied strictly depend on orientation. It is also possible to adjust Camera's view angle.

Note: It is recommended to keep Camera on Scene while adjusting the settings to be able to observe all image changes.

4.Click Apply or OK when finished. To discard changes, click Cancel.

Once Camera is established as a fish-eye camera, de-warping can be performed. See "Working with Fish-Eye Cameras (De-warping)" for details.
