to achieve "Click-and-See" control function, the speed
dome camera has to be capable of 360 degrees endless rotation. The
protocol also must to be confirmed by EeRise. The speed dome cameras
so far supported are JVC TK series and Sensormatic Ultra V series.
Other speed dome cameras can be supported upon customer's request. |

What is "Click-and-See"? |
|
With "Click-and-See"
you can intuitively direct the speed dome camera to any pinpoint
location you want by just clicking on the image of MapCam360. That
means that you can have a video surveillance of "What You Click
is What You See". |
6. |
What is the difference of ""Click-and-see""
compared with other normal PTZ camera? What are the merits? |
|
Without "Click-and-See",
you can only relatively control the movement of PTZ camera like
pan left and right or tilt up and down. This means that you can
just aimlessly control the PTZ movement until something unaccustomed
scene you perceived from its image.
With "Click-and-See" you can intuitively direct the PTZ
camera to any pinpoint location you want; moreover, you really know
where is the position the PTZ camera has to aim at.

Are there any kinds of calibration procedure needed
for MapCam and PTZ camera? How long does it take? |

Each MapCam360 had been calibrated
before shipment, so there is no extra calibration procedure needed
on installation site.
Anyway, some simple adjustment procedures are required. This adjustment
takes about 3 minutes.

instead of MapCam360? |

MapCam360, but other omni-directional video cameras are also acceptable
