    View type
    		PTZ

    If you use a camera with an Immervision lens, select the appropriate display mode (4): 360о panorama with virtual PTZ (PTZ value) or 180о panorama (Perimeter).

    Perimeter
    Fit to frame
    		Yes

    By default, the parameter is disabled. A typical fisheye lens with standard settings produces a skewed image in the upper part of the screen. As a result, the video image is automatically calibrated and cut at the edges of the frame, which can result in a significant loss of frame area.

    If there are multiple streams from a camera, you must calibrate each stream. To do this, before applying the settings, switch the stream tab in the Surveillance window (see Camera).

    Video is calibrated every time you change any parameters in the Panomorph group.

    No

Manual calibration is also available. To do this:

  1. In the Fit to frame field, select the No value from the drop-down list.
  2. In the Activate field, select the No value from the drop-down list.
  3. Click the Apply button.
  4. In the Activate field, select the Yes value from the drop-down list.
  5. Configure the circle video area. To move the circle, left-click any point inside the circle and move the mouse pointer. To change the diameter of the circle, click an anchor point  and move the mouse pointer.

  6. Click the Apply button. After applying the settings, the area outside the circle is cut.

Configuration of the fisheye camera is complete.
