Panomorph Lenses
When it comes to today video surveillance reality, new generation panomorph lenses outperform older and inefficient panoramic optics, such as mirror lenses and fisheye lenses. Panomorph lenses allow you to take immediately advantage of 360° immersive video surveillance with your traditional CCTV and IP equipment.
The Panomorph is the only 360° immersive video lens that “PLUG AND PLAY” with the best-of-breed
cameras and
software.
IMV1-1/3 panomorph lens series
Panomorph lens optimised for VGA to 1.3MPx CCD and CMOS sensors.
The IMV1-1/3 panomorph lens series includes the Sensor Centering Adjustment system to perfectly center horizontally and vertically the 360° image on the sensor. Learn more about this exclusive functionality by watching the
IMV1-1/3 Installation Video.

Panomorph vs. Fisheye performance comparison
Did you know that a fisheye lens requires up to six times more pixels on the sensors to produce the same resolution of a panomorph lens on a standard NTSC camera?
Fisheye lenses, compared to panomorph lenses, have smaller optical image sensor coverage. Furthermore fisheye lenses have a constant angular resolution rapidly decreasing the size on the sensor of distant objects (in the periphery). Like in the “ceiling mount” example below, panomorph lenses have an increased resolution on the periphery (magnification factor) increasing the size on the sensor of distant objects.
