What is PanoPlaza Camera?
POINT.1all-sky camera
The PanoPlaza Camera is compatible with all-sky cameras and wide-angle cameras. One unit can simultaneously monitor and record the full circumference of the 360 degree range and wide-angle cameras at 55 degrees, 98 degrees, and 220 degrees.
Therefore, it is possible to cover a large area with a small number of installations.
POINT.2cloud management
It is a network camera service that can manage surveillance images and recorded images from all-sky cameras and wide-angle cameras in the cloud, even from a remote location. A network camera that combines a management system with IoT hardware enables lower costs and flexible operation. We provide a system that can collectively manage multiple cameras and a system that can efficiently record images to cloud storage.
POINT.3Can be customized
The camera image recording settings can be changed, such as the shooting interval every 1 second or 1 minute, and the resolution of the camera image can also be changed. It can also support flexible changes to recording settings, such as saving still images or videos.
POINT.4Easy-to-use management screen
The management and viewing pages support remote operation. It has a mechanism for accessing a dedicated website via a browser. Multiple icons of installed cameras are displayed on the floor map of the dedicated site.
Real-time images can be displayed by intuitively selecting. Viewing/playback of 360-degree all-sky camera images and 55-degree, 98-degree, and 220-degree wide-angle camera images is implemented with a Street View-like UI. Browsing is possible using smooth scrolling and zooming operations.
When playing back past videos, simply specify the playback location by specifying the date and time. It can be used to check progress and confirm problems at the site.
PanoPlaza Camera with Solar
[Energy-saving cloud-compatible camera for non-electrified and non-WiFi regions]
In recent years, demand for surveillance camera systems has increased in non-electrified and non-WiFi regions around the world, but there are the following issues in these regions, and “PanoPlaza Camera with Solar” can solve these problems.
- ・Non-electrified areas: Electric wires are close, but electrical work cannot be carried out
- ・Non-WiFi regions: Internet access is available nearby, but it is difficult to install an access point or there is no power supply
[Camera system independent of wired power supply/infrastructure-type WiFi]
It is a network camera that combines a camera, lens, solar panel, battery, communication module, etc. with a Raspberry Pi as the axis.
The camera case and Raspberry Pi case are waterproof products, so they can be used outdoors. There are several types of camera angles of view, and 3 types are available: 55 degrees, 98 degrees, and 220 degrees.
[Cloud Side Video Management System (VMS)]
Images and videos taken with the camera can be checked over a network using a video management system (VMS) on the cloud side.
The cloud server is built on AWS and consists of an architecture centered around AWS IoT and Raspberry Pi.
In addition, there are 3 types of roles that can be used, and flexible permission management is possible.
- ・Admin: area management, user management
- ・Manager: camera management, camera settings, floor settings, remote operation, camera viewer
- ・Viewer: camera viewer
