 Panoramic Video 
Surveillance--PVS 
(v2.3 SP2) 
31.1 
Introducing PVS 
Have you ever wanted to see everywhere at 
the same time? All traditional lenses have 
blind spots, and even PTZ cameras can only 
'look' in one direction at a time. The PVS 
option with ImmerVision IMV1™ - 1/3" lens 
eliminates blind spots, and allows viewing and 
recording a full 360° field of view (360° x 180°). 
Unlike a standard fish-eye lens, any portion of 
the image can be selected and viewed without 
any annoying 'fish-eye' distortion. 
The PVS option provides: 
•  Multiple viewing modes for camera 
viewing and video playback; 
•  Virtual PTZ control for viewing and 
playback; 
•  Digital zoom control for viewing and 
playback. 
Tip: Using the PVS control during recording does 
not affect the recording. The whole image is always 
recorded. 
Sample Uses: 
•  Jewellery store, or other location with large 
product display areas. 
•  ATM vestibule security 
•  Receptionist or guard station security 
31.2 
Technical Information 
The PVS option uses an ImmerVision 360 lens 
with 1/3" sensor, CS mount, and automatic 
iris. 
Resolution: The PVS option provides a digital 
manipulation of a panoramic image (NTSC: 
640x480; PAL: 640x576). This lens is intended to 
work in conjunction with other cameras with 
standard lenses for visual identification of intruders. 
Remote Software: With the remote station (and 
IRM) software, PVS control is supported only for 
playback. 
31.3 
Installation and Licensing 
Attention: The NetVision Server PC must have 
access to the internet. Additional licensing for 
remote PCs is not needed.

look for setup.exe on the CD. 
Attention: Do this with the NetVision software shut 
down. 
After installing the CD on the NetVision server 
PC, the first time you run the NetVision

license key for registration.

ensure you have typed it correctly. Then click
