M3007 – Exacq

The M3047/48 are based on different hardware “Ambarella Chipset” when compared to the M3007 cameras.

There are some streaming limitations on these cameras and only view areas 1 & 2 are available and no view areas 3 & 4. Although, selecting a dewarped capture mode, you can have overview [fish-eye] plus a dewarped view (view areas 1 & 2 are counted as one dewarped view).

The combination of different available views/resolutions in different capture modes are described in the user manual and work is being done will to have this be more clear/specific on the web GUI as well.

Selecting the view areas 1 & 2 as dewarped view, you can zoom, pan and tilt on the view areas and then you have the possibility to create preset positions (see page 9 of the user manual). [This can be described as an improvement for those that like modifying view areas]

Please be aware that the number of simultaneously pulled and individually configured video streams is a max of 4 on these products. [Because of the Ambarella Chipset]

With most panoramic cameras in exacqVision, you can dewarp a panoramic image by enabling Digital PTZ and digitally zooming into the fisheye image. However, Axis M3007 panoramic cameras are dewarped using multistreaming.

To enable the panoramic views, the camera must be in Ceiling orientation. To select this orientation, open the camera’s web configurator, select Setup, select System Options, select Advanced, select Plain Config, select ImageSource from the drop-down list, click Select Group, and select Ceiling from the Camera Tilt Orientation drop-down list. (If you do not see this option, select Image from the first drop-down list and enable the images before you click Select Group.)

In Ceiling orientation, an Axis M3007 camera contains four default views: Overview (fisheye), Panorama, Double Panorama, and Quad View. You can also manually configure up to four individual view areas. For access to the streams, enter the IP address of the camera in a browser to open the camera’s web configurator, select a stream from the Source drop-down menu on the Live View page, and click Go.

The following images depict each of the default views:

To configure individual view areas, open the camera’s web configurator again and select a view area from the Source drop-down list. Move the pan, tilt, and zoom sliders to configure the view area as desired.

The streams can each be added in exacqVision on the Camera Settings page.
