The patented Panomera® Multifocal Sensor System is a totally novel camera technology particularly developed for the extensive video surveillance of large-scale areas. With Panomera®, enormous distances and areas are displayed in a completely new resolution quality – in real time and at high frame rates.
With Panomera®, a huge area can be surveilled from a single location – and the resolution can almost be scaled without limits by combining multiple Panomera® Multifocal Sensor Systems to one array.
The innovative lens and sensor concept of the Panomera® offers a unique overall view while simultaneously capturing the finest of details even for long distances. The result is a significant reduction of infrastructural demands. In places where previously several megapixel cameras would have been required, now only one Panomera® Multifocal Sensor System is sufficient.
Panomera® goes far beyond the conventional Full HD 1080p standard and megapixel resolution.
Due to the Multifocal Sensor System, all areas of the entire surveillance scene are simultaneously displayed at maximum detail resolution. No matter which part of the surveillance zone an operator focuses at any time, Panomera® always captures the entire event. Therefore, an incident can always be reconstructed later to be used as evidence in court, regardless of where it happened, and it is possible to recognize the individuals involved.
Panomera® enables full overview with minimum wear and nearly no maintenance.
The Multifocal Sensor System thus provides long service life and long-term investment protection.

1) Depending on the installation height and camera tilt; 125 px/m meet the requirements for the recognition of persons by an operator.
2) Effective resolution MPe: A conventional single sensor camera would have to be equipped with a 51, 50 or 46 megapixels image sensor in order to provide the same resolution across the entire object space as these Panomera® systems.
3) The Day/Night switching is performed digitally, without the use of a mechanically removable IR-cut filter; the camera is not sensitive to infrared light during night operation.
4) ICR = IR-Cut Filter Removable
