Fisheye Camera
Systems
A surveillance camera equipped with an ultra-wide-angle lens that captures a 360-degree panoramic view of an area, producing a characteristic hemispherical or circular “fisheye” image. In casinos, fisheye cameras are used to provide complete coverage of large open areas such as gaming pits, lobbies, and cage areas with a single device. Modern fisheye cameras include “dewarping” software that converts the distorted circular image into standard flat views.
In practice
Some jurisdictions accept fisheye cameras with multi-view dewarping capability as meeting coverage requirements that would otherwise require multiple standard cameras.
