Configuring Sony Panomorph camera lenses - Security Center 5.11.3.0

Before viewing video with a Sony camera equipped with a panomorph lens in Security Desk, you must configure the lens in Config Tool.

1. From the Video task in Config Tool, select the camera to configure.
2. Click the Hardware tab.
3. From the Lens type list, select Panomorph.
4. Click Edit ().
   The Configure lens dialog box opens.
5. Select the Camera position if the selected camera and panomorph lens do not support automatic configuration.
6. Select the Panomorph Lens Type (RPL) if the selected camera and panomorph lens do not support automatic configuration. The lens type is listed on the lens box; sometimes it is on the lens ring.
7. Click Calibrate.
   A message indicates whether the lens was calibrated successfully. The calibration could fail for several reasons:

   • It is too dark.
   • The lens is not installed or positioned correctly.
   • The lens is missing or of the wrong type.
     NOTE: If the camera is moved, calibrate the lens again.
   When the selected camera and panomorph lens support automatic configuration, the camera position displays automatically in the Camera position list. Also, the RPL displays automatically in the Panomorph Lens Type (RPL) list.
8. Click OK > Apply.
