High Definition 360 Degree Camera Reference Designs

ChipWrights offers two 360 degree camera reference designs that provide an excellent platform for developing flexible, feature-rich CCTV video surveillance cameras. Both are based on the CW5631 System on Chip, which offers an integrated camera design platform that speeds development and reduces bill of materials costs.

• 2 megapixel 360 degree camera reference design: For cameras based on SoC image sensors; well-suited for hardware extensions, like custom sensor boards; easy access to software debug ports.
  
  
• 5 megapixel 360 degree camera reference design: Compact, ready-for-production form factor; high resolution, high performance; includes ChipWrights image pipeline.

Benefits of our 360 degree camera reference designs:

• Deliver high-quality high definition images
• Programming flexibility leads to faster time to market
• Ability to run video analytics on chip
• Ultra-wide viewing angles provide 180 degree by 360 degree views
• Dewarp live video for recording and viewing of specific areas of interest
• Support multiple Pan, Tilt, Zoom (PTZ) streams from one sensor
  
• Record complete 360 degree view of room, then use PTZ during playback
• Digital Pan, Tilt, Zoom with no moving parts
• Small form factor: ceiling-mount, wall-mount, or table top placement
