The multifocal sensor system Panomera is a completely new camera technology. It was specially developed for the all-encompassing video surveillance of expansive areas. With MFS technology it is possible to monitor large-scale areas from a single location and to capture both an overview image and detail images in the highest resolution even from very distant areas at the same time.
Based on a patented lens and sensor concept, the Panomera effect guarantees a perfectly uniform resolution throughout the entire coverage area. In contrast to single sensor cameras, which are equipped with a single lens, the multifocal sensor system works with several lenses, each of which has a different focal length. The MFS technology therefore is able to provide a guaranteed constant resolution of at least 125 pix/m. This makes it possible to monitor large areas and distances from a single location, achieving this in real time with uniform image resolution, high dynamics and consistent focal depth.
Panomera solves the well-known problem with PTZ cameras whereby the operator has to choose between overview image and detailed view: It does not matter which section of a surveillance area an operator focuses on at any time, because Panomera always records the entire scene. It is thus possible to later reconstruct any event for use as evidence in court, regardless of where it took place, and to recognise all persons involved.
With MFS technology, the same area can be surveyed from a single location as with several HD cameras distributed over several locations. Since fewer camera installation locations are needed, the requirements for the infrastructure (masts, cables, electricity, etc.) are lower, along with expenditures for servicing and maintenance.
Another advantage of the Panomera sensor concept is a substantially higher dynamic range. Panomera works with several sensors, each of which selects its own exposure strategy in order to achieve ideal saturation. While with other cameras an average value is determined, Panomera can make distinctions more effectively: Light areas are exposed for a shorter time and dark areas for a longer time. As a result, situations with a large dynamic range can also be recorded with good quality, without overexposure or "drowned" black areas.
Panomera trailer on tour
Dallmeier will make a tour through South Africa for some live demonstrations of the Panomera multifocal sensor camera technology. If you want to experience the unique Panomera effect by yourself, then watch out for the Panomera trailer or request your personal live demo!
Besides the MFS technology, a series of other IP cameras including dome cameras or box cameras with integrated infrared IR illumination as well as different Dallmeier recording servers, workstations and video management software will also be displayed live.
The Panomera trailer will start its tour in Johannesburg and then move on to Pretoria, Bloemfontein, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and many more South African areas. Between fixed show days there will be enough time for personal live demonstrations on request.
