Panoramic Camera

[nbkiong]

Sir,

How to create 180° or 360° panoramic camera. CCTVCAD Software has no updates for the additional cameras?
Could you give us the tutorial how to create Panoramic. Because in our design we are using the latest camera model including the 180° and 360° but in VideoCad lite I cannot find 180° and 360° in add new camera options.

Please help us.

Thank You..

I saw it sir, but i think this modeling is only for VideoCad professional, shadowed areas in 2D using Dome mode with Shadow tool is only for professional. How about in Lite Version?

Shadow tool is not available in the Lite version. Professional version is more powerful than Lite.
Here is a full list of additional features available in the Professional version only (See under "With the VideoCAD 7 Professional version you can in addition:"):
http://www.cctvcad.com/VideoCAD_Lite.html

You can see in that list:
"Calculate the horizontal projection of camera control areas including shadows from obstacles on the scene. "
and
"Choose right positions and calculate control areas of PTZ cameras, dome cameras and 360 degree cameras."

You can upgrade VideoCAD Lite to VideoCAD Profesional at any time by paying price difference only.

VideoCAD8 can model panoramic cameras (fisheye, 360/180 degrees)
VideoCAD allows to:
• Simulate the output frames without distortion with calculated pixel density;
• Simulate camera field of view and distribution of the spatial resolution in the Graphics window and the 3D World.
See example



You can also model wide-angle cameras with strong lens distortion.

VideoCAD Lite 8.2 released recently can use Shadow tool and can model panoramic cameras. See What is new

[Support]

Now free CCTV Design Lens Calculator 3.0 can calculate spatial resolution at specified distance and model images from panoramic cameras.

VideoCAD9 has new tools for modeling multisensor cameras.
