The 360 degree market is now maturing fast. There are already signs that 360 degree fisheye cameras are becoming mainstream and will be adopted naturally as part of the solution in many or most new CCTV installations. 360 degree cameras will be rolled out as part of the general trend where analog CCTV is gradually being replaced by IP CCTV systems.

AMG, the British manufacturer of CCTV transmission solutions, has entered an agreement with Norbain SD Ltd a leading European distributor. The agreement will see AMG’s PanoCam360 series of 5-MP cameras integrated into Norbain’s product range and marketed to all major Systems Integrators in the UK.

Sara Bullock, Sales & Marketing Director of AMG Group, says, “We are delighted with Norbain’s decision to incorporate the PanoCam360 range into their product portfolio. We are finding an increasing number of applications for our 360 cameras in many diverse markets, including Retail, Transportation, Industrial, Schools and Government. Virtually anywhere where CCTV is required can benefit from the addition of 360 degree cameras to give an overview of a large area without blind spots and to reduce the number of cameras required for total coverage. ”

AMG designs and manufactures intelligent cameras which dewarp the fisheye images inside the camera. We produce multiple simultaneous dewarped streams, without the need for remote software for live viewing. We also provide a dewarping SDK which is integrated with many of the global VMS manufacturers, together with ONVIF Profile-S certification.

With Norbain’s wide reach into the Systems Integrator community we expect to see a significant increase in demand for this highly sophisticated camera series.
