Q26 Hemispheric
1.1.2 Hemispheric Technology
The Q26 Hemispheric offers all the image views known from MOBOTIX’ other hemispheric
cameras, including
Panorama, Panorama Focus, Double Panorama, Full Image, Normal and
Surround.
The primary components of a hemispheric camera include a fisheye lens, a high-resolution
image sensor, and image correction software that is integrated into the camera. Using an
ultra-wide angle lens, the hemispheric camera captures a 180°-hemispheric image of the
room and projects it onto a high-resolution image sensor.
When ceiling mounted, the image area of the hemispheric camera covers the entire room.
The image in the hemisphere is convex, particularly near the image borders. These image
sections are corrected for the viewer by the integrated distortion correction software, allow-
ing a view of the scene from the usual perspective. The virtual PTZ feature allows you to
enlarge or move image sections within the hemisphere just like PTZ camera, yet without
the need for mechanical moving parts. Hemispheric cameras lack mechanical moving parts
and require low maintenance. In addition, they are silent when panning and focusing on
a specific image area.
