To view and dewarp video images in Security Desk that were captured using a Bosch fisheye camera lens, you must configure the lens in Config Tool.

What you should know

  • Dewarping allows you to zoom in on a 360-degree image, similar to the digital zoom feature in Security Desk. The zoomed image is dewarped, or flattened, to show a rectangular image.
  • The following formats are supported when dewarping video images from Bosch cameras:
    • H.264
    • H.265/HEVC
    • MJPEG

Procedure

  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 Bosch.
  4. Click Edit ().
    The Configure lens dialog box opens.
  5. From the Camera position list, select the position of the camera.
  6. From the Camera model list, select the camera model series that the video unit belongs to.
    NOTE: By default, the camera model is set to Unknown. Dewarping might work with this setting, however it is recommended that you select the correct model from the list.
  7. Click OK > Apply.

After you finish

For your changes to take effect, remove the camera from all Security Desk tiles, and then re-add the camera.
