The system allows the use of three types of integrated camera lenses: Normal, Panomorph, Fisheye
The Normal standard is the lens that most cameras use, that is, with an aperture that does not create a large image distortion.
The Panomorph lens uses an aperture that focuses a full 360 degrees. In this case, the image looks oval and distorted. See the image below:
With this integration, the system performs the so-called "dewarping", that is, it removes the distortion and it is possible to see the image normally. This type of lens works very well with mega-pixel cameras, as with just one camera it is possible to focus on all angles of a room and divide the image as if it were several cameras. See the example below:
NOTE: Panomorph lenses do not work like "Fisheye" lenses, that is, a Fisheye camera must be integrated according to its manufacturer. The advantage of the Panamorph lens is that it can be used on any camera.
