Reinforcing the benefits of security technology collaboration, Hikvision has announced a Multiple Fisheye Dewarping Solution for Milestone Systems. XProtect with Device Pack 9.0 (and later). Milestone Systems is a strategic partner for Hikvision, and are dedicated to delivering quality business video solutions through partnerships.

This new dewarping solution allows Hikvision’s fisheye network cameras to be seamlessly integrated with Milestone’s high-performance network video management software, enabling the Milestone Smart Client to display the dewarped images captured by Hikvision fisheye cameras in real-time with no distortion. Recorded video can be retrieved and played back dewarped as well.

With this new solution, Milestone customers will be able to use just a single camera to provide 360° wide-area surveillance coverage without visual blind spots. The solution delivers effective situational awareness and decreases the overall cost of cameras, installation and maintenance.

The dewarping solution further enables access to camera viewing modes such as 180°, 360°, PTZ, PTZ-quad, and horizontal panoramic. Up to 12 different views can be created in the Milestone Smart Client, with the intelligent PTZ view allowing security operators to pan, tilt and zoom through an entire scene – providing a superlative surveillance overview.

“As businesses continue to increase situational awareness, 360° cameras stand as one of the strongest areas of growth in surveillance industry. The integration with Milestone’s XProtect is significant for the market and for our mutual customers to obtain another high performance dewarping solution, tailored to a number of vertical markets, including retail, parking lots, transportation, gaming, campuses and interior building space applications,” said Adler Wu, Global Technology Partner Program Manager at Hikvision.
