Scallop Imaging M6-200

6 Megapixel 200° Panoramic Monochrome Video Camera

1. Description
   

   The 6 megapixel Digital Window® M6-200 video surveillance camera is a 200° panoramic video camera. The imaging task is distributed amongst five micro camera modules. The M6-200 synthesizes five image data streams into (1) 15 fps HD 720p frame that combines a seamless 200° field of view situational awareness view with up to four separate and quickly repositionable detail views. In addition, the camera has a full resolution 6 Megapixel video stream at 1 fps for recording and forensic viewing.

1. General Requirements:
   1. The camera shall be a network enabled monochrome camera utilizing (5) 1.2Megapixel monochrome CMOS image sensors.
   2. The camera shall have output a resolution of 1280x960 pixels per image sensor for a total of 4800x1280 pixels.
   3. The camera shall produce panoramic images by synchronizing the 5 image sensors and fusing the output of the image sensors into a seamless 200° horizontal by 60° vertical field of view video stream.
   4. The camera aggregated frame rate across all 5 image sensors shall be 75 frames/sec.
   5. The camera shall be H.264 (MPEG4, Part 10) compliant. The camera shall provide six levels of H.264 compression quality selectable by the user for optimal viewing and recording.
   6. The camera shall have a horizontal field of view of 200° and a vertical field of view of 60°.
   7. The camera shall be sensitive to both visible and near IR illumination
   8. The camera shall have multi-streaming capability and shall deliver up to two simultaneous video streams: [1] a high definition 720p (1280x720 pixels) stream where the video frame format is composed of a full 200° situational awareness view resampled to fit into the 720p HD frame within 1280x320 pixels, plus the balance of the frame (1280x400 pixels) allocated to display up to 4 region of interest windows whose magnification can be adjusted continuously between ¼ full pixel resolution and full pixel resolution selected from anywhere within the 200° field of view at up to 15 frames/sec, and [2] a full pixel resolution 4800x1280 panoramic image at up to 1 frame/sec. Both the full 200° situational awareness view and the region of interest views shall be delivered simultaneously and be synchronized.
   9. The camera shall support flexible formatting of the HD video frame to include the following options: 200° situational awareness view only, 200° situational awareness view plus two regions of interest, 200° situational awareness view plus three regions of interest, and 200° situational awareness view plus four regions of interest.
   10. The camera shall be capable of displaying a rectangular overlay on the situational awareness view that indicates the position and size of a selected region of interest in the composite 720p video stream.
   11. The camera shall be capable of allowing the user to quickly reposition the regions of interest in the composite video 720p frame.
   12. The camera shall have Auto Exposure with two exposure modes, Average mode and Independent mode. Average mode takes the exposure statistics for all of the image sensors and fixes the exposure for all of the camera modules based on the best average exposure. Independent mode allows each of the image sensors to set its own exposure based on its own exposure statistics.
   13. The camera shall allow the user to set the frame rate of the sensors from 1 fps to 15 fps.
   14. The camera shall allow the user to set the image contrast with 4 contrast curves.
   15. The camera shall allow the user to adjust the exposure target to adjust the average image brightness.
   16. The camera shall feature user-selectable 50/60 Hz flicker control.
   17. The camera shall allow the user to set the maximum exposure time for each frame between ½ sec and 1/30 sec.
   18. The camera shall allow the user to adjust the geometrical alignment of the field of view to compensate for parallax in certain scenes.
   19. The camera shall be capable of streaming video over a network.
   20. The camera shall support TCP/IP, HTTP, SMTP, DHCP, RTP/RTSP, DNS, and Bonjour network protocols.
   21. The camera network interface shall be via an 8-pin RJ-45 connector. 10Base-T / /100Base-TX Ethernet.
   22. The camera shall be Power over Ethernet capable, compliant to the IEEE 802.3af standard.
   23. The camera shall include an embedded web server, such that the standard web browsers Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and higher, and Mozilla Firefox 3.6.1 or higher can be used to configure the camera and remotely view and record the M6-200 video streams. The supported operating systems shall be Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP.
   24. The minimum system requirements to install and run the camera shall be:
