Oncam Grandeye 360° IP Camera Basics
Oncam Grandeye’s IP series cameras are based on an innovative technology that uses a fisheye lens to create a
360° view with an extremely large area of coverage. With proper placement, the Oncam Grandeye 360° IP camera
can replace two or more conventional fixed cameras for seamless coverage of an entire scene with no gaps or blind
spots. The ability to ‘see’ in all directions at once makes Oncam Grandeye 360° IP cameras ideally suited for total
situational awareness.
The 5
‐
megapixel sensor produces enough detail to allow digital pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) operations over the entire field
of view. But unlike conventional PTZ cameras, Oncam Grandeye 360° IP cameras are silent. There are no
mechanical motors and gears which are prone to wear and eventual failure. The camera produces three types of
views, each suited to a particular set of requirements.
1.1
Fisheye View
The high quality fisheye lens produces a spherical image from which all other views are derived. The raw image
appears warped around a central axis. Special dewarping software is built into the NVR / VMS to convert the
spherical image into a flat view which is more familiar to human viewers. When using video management software
(VMS) to record a fisheye video stream, the entire image is preserved, allowing you to ‘retrospectively’ look at all
directions, regardless of the area being viewed live or when viewing recorded video after an incident has occurred.

The Evolution Camera Range
2.1
IP camera Module
The camera module (CM) has the ability to be mounted in to a number of different camera housings and mounting
adaptors. These alternative housings form a camera range of three models. Each model within the range is suitable
for mounting in different applications and environments.
The camera modules within the housings and mountings are based on two modules; (long nose camera module
and a short nose camera module), but camera firmware, the software features, the connection ports, the
communication ports and input / output connections are the same across the Evolution range.
Common Features of the Evolution camera range:
•
The camera module is able to be configured to stream either an H.264 or MJPEG single stream at either:-
o
10fps with a frame size of 2144x1944 pixels (4MP)
o
15fps with a frame size of 1488 x 1360 pixels (2MP)
o
15fps with a frame size of 1056 x 960 pixels (1MP)
o
15fps with a frame size of 528 x 480 pixels (1/4MP)
•
The user can enable and configure a second fisheye stream for either H.264 or MJPEG. If the second
stream is enabled the maximum frame rates of both the main stream and the second stream will be
reduced (see section 11.3.6 for the maximum fps when the second stream is enabled)
•
The user has simultaneous access to a third stream of MJPEG at a fixed fps with a frame size of 528 x 480
pixels (1/4MP)
•
An external microphone can be connected to the camera module via a 3.5mm input jack. Please contact
Oncam Grandeye for details of compatible microphones.
•
The camera module has 1x input and 1x output hardware alarms connected via hardwire plug connector.
•
The camera module can be powered from an external 12v dc power source, with a minimum 1amp
supply, or via Power over Ethernet (IEEE Standard 802.3af)
•
The camera module design allows for easy and fast installation in to any of the camera module housing
options.
