Avigilon Fisheye Camera: reducing blindspots

If you need a camera to provide effective coverage for an entire room or corridor then the Avigilon Fisheye camera could help.

The Avigilon Fisheye Unity H6A camera can provide comprehensive protection from a single vantage point with delivering seamless panoramic coverage, precise imaging and AI-powered insights. It is ideal for mid-size open areas and in the latest development you can choose between a 180° or 360° field of view without having any blind spots.

Where a 360° field of view is required, these cameras can be in-ceiling or surface mounted. The 180° field of view cameras are surface mounted but for this model a wedge wall mount is also available. This allows for strategic placement in areas like corridors and removes unnecessary ​‘dead’ space, ensuring only the relevant areas of the site are covered.

Additionally, where required, adapters allow us to mount the fisheye cameras on pendants. This is ideal in places where a surface or in-ceiling mount would be difficult or to ensure you are capturing wider areas. For example, in large warehouses or car parks.

We have installed Avigilon fisheye cameras in educational and commercial spaces and they are particularly beneficial in open areas and rooms with several entrances. They allow users to install a single rather than multiple cameras and to monitor the views from just that camera.

For example, Regency High School in Worcester, has a fisheye camera located in a music room with three entrances while at Gtech’s headquarters a fisheye was placed in its training area to give a 360-degree view and audio recording.

The embedded analytics within the Avigilon Fisheye Unity H6A camera includes AI-powered object classification, anomaly detection, tailored rules and more. The camera also offers audio analytics to detect and analyse specific sounds allowing it to flag up critical incidents. You can also manually activate optional recording for a complete security overview.

There is also constant people tracking so that there are no blind spots when playing back footage. All these advanced features allow you to take quicker and more informed decisions to enhance your security response.

To benefit from the advanced analytical features of the Avigilon Fisheye Unity H6A camera you will need to have the latest version of the Avigilon Unity video management software. The features of Avigilon Unity 8 video include:

  • Focus of Attention Interface: A cutting-edge user interface for live video monitoring that leverages AI and video analytics technologies to determine what information is important and should be presented to security operators.
  • Avigilon Appearance Search: Locate a person or vehicle by entering a physical description, uploading a photo or finding an example in recorded video. AdaptAI has increased the number of different vehicle types that can be classified.

Additionally, advanced cloud-managed features allow for easy management of multiple sites and users, unified login for all applications and a single installer for software updates.
