We've been talking more and more about deploying panoramic (360/180) cameras for video surveillance for specific applications.
Bosch released a case study from a project in Madrid that reinforces the use of panoramic cameras for video surveillance.
The MidChes team had a similar demonstration and subsequent installation at a musem in Reading, PA.
The El Museeo Thyssen-Bornemisza Story
El Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid features some of world’s finest pieces of art. Bosch is contributing to making sure these artworks stay where they belong - by helping the museum in its migration from analog video surveillance to an IP-based system with intelligent video analytics.
Bosch IP panoramic cameras with intelligent video analytics were chosen by the museum for its Temporary Exhibitions Room to maintain a watchful eye on each art installation and to eliminate blind spots.
These cameras featuring a “fisheye” lens provide a full 180- or 360-degree overview of an area. The camera’s built-in dewarping functionality transforms the circular image into distortion-free rectangular images that can be easily viewed in high resolution thanks to its 12-megapixel sensor.

The Reading Museum Story
A museum in Pennsylvania took us up on the offer for a Proof of Concept demonstration at their facility. They wanted to see first-hand how new camera techologies could improve security and situational awareness at the museum.
They had two goals for the demonstration and subsequent installation:
