1 Overview

The Oncam Evolution 180 Camera Range is innovative and use a fisheye lens to create a 180°

view with an extremely large area of coverage. The Evolution 180° may replace two or more

conventional fixed cameras for seamless wall-mounted coverage of an entire scene with no gaps

or blind spots. The ability to see in all directions at once makes Oncam 180° IP cameras ideally

suited for total panoramic awareness.

The 12‐megapixel sensor produces enough detail to allow digital pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ) operations

over the entire Field of View (FoV). Unlike conventional PTZ cameras, Oncam 180° IP cameras

only have one highly reliable solenoid driven cut filter, which means no motors or gears prone to

wear and failure, and aside for the occasional “click” from the solenoid when light levels change,

silent.

1.1 Views

The camera produces three types of view, each suited to a particular set of requirements.

1.1.1 Panoramic View

The high quality fisheye lens produces an image that is dewarped by software in the camera into

a high-resolution 180° panoramic image. This is the default stream provided by the camera.

Panoramic View is a special, high-performance type of VCam (see below) and up to two different-

resolution Panoramic Views may be enabled at a time, using-up one of the four possible VCam

Views each.

1.1.2 Fisheye View

The high quality fisheye lens produces a spherical image from which all other views are derived.

The raw image appears warped around a central axis. Special dewarping software built into the

camera and / or the recording system converts the spherical image into a flattened view that is

more familiar to human viewers. When using video management software (VMS) to record a

fisheye video stream, the entire image is preserved, making it possible to look in many directions

at once, even ‘retrospectively’, regardless of the area(s) being viewed when video was recorded.

1.1.3 Virtual Camera Views (VCams)

The camera is capable of creating up to four user-controlled dewarped views derived from the

main fisheye view. Using ONVIF or API commands from a compatible recording system, areas of

interest in the fisheye image can be dewarped, zoomed and examined, in a view very similar to

that of a traditional Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) camera. These camera views are available as

separate ONVIF compatible-streams for recording and control on a compatible VMS/NVR

system.

Note: VCam mode is enabled by default to allow creation of the default Panoramic view. VCam

mode is disabled when enabling a secondary fisheye view.

1.2 Camera Range

The Evolution 180 camera range comprises an indoor model, available in white and black, and an

outdoor model, available in white.

1.3 Power Requirements

The camera can be powered using PoE or direct DC input.

Installation & User Manual – Oncam Evolution 180 Camera Range

6 of 54

April 2018

• PoE. Connect power and data using an Ethernet cable plugged into the camera Ethernet

port. The PoE supplied equipment must be compliant with IEEE 802.3AF.

• Direct DC Input. Use only a UL/CSA‐approved LPS or NEC Class 2 power source with a

12 VDC 1A AC adapter (not supplied).

CAUTION: Do not power the camera using 12 V and PoE at the same time. Doing so may

damage the camera and void the warranty.

See Section 10 for more information.

1.4 12-pin I/O Connector

The camera module has a number of input and output ports that support the following functions:

• Alarm In

• Alarm Out

• External IR Filter Control In

• Audio in/out (Microphone, Speaker)

• Power (12V, Ground)

• LED 1 & 2

See Section 10 for more information.

2 Camera Placement and Orientation

Camera placement is an important factor when planning any camera deployment. The Evolution

180 camera has an exceptionally wide viewing angle (187°). Consider the camera location for

providing comprehensive coverage of a wide area. Mount the camera with an unobstructed view

and consider scene optimization when one portion of the scene is bright and another dark.

The camera supports three different mounting orientations; Wall, Ceiling and Table, but the high-

performance Panoramic Views give the best images when the camera is looking out towards the

horizon, for example on a wall. Each of these orientations has corresponding settings in the

Camera Web Interface. These camera settings ensure the correct dewarping algorithm is used

when connecting to a compatible VMS or NVR system. In Wall mode, additional controls allow

fine-tuning of the Panoramic View to frame and dewarp the scene perfectly.

Depending on the use case, a single 180° camera can cover a very large space. Mounting a

camera high-up gives great situational awareness throughout a large room. When planning

coverage, ensure there are no obstructions. Typical obstructions include pillars, high-sided

furniture and any hanging objects near the camera such as signage or lighting installations.

Even though the Panoramic View can be adjusted up or down or directed anywhere in front of the

lens, the sharpest images will be achieved when the Panorama is across the middle of the

camera’s view. It’s therefore best to aim the lens at the general height of the areas of greatest

interest. To facilitate this, mounting brackets are provided with the Indoor camera at three

different fixed angles, allowing surface or conduit-mounting with various options for cable entry,

conduit and connections. The Outdoor camera’s integrated mounting bracket allows the camera

to be tilted down at any angle from 0° to -45°, still being surface-mounted or screwed onto the

end of a drop conduit.

Ceiling mounting is preferred when most of the action is occurring below the camera in a

horizontal plane. When a person is directly below the camera though, the view captured is the

top‐of head. When the person moves away from the camera, more of their body becomes visible.

2.1 Coverage Area

The Evolution 180 cameras provide coverage for open areas where situational awareness of

people and objects are required.

The higher the camera placement the larger the area that is covered. However, with higher

camera placement a reduction in the pixel density is expected. Height impacts the image detail

available, therefore ensure you consider image quality versus the mounting height.

Perform tests to ensure that the camera meets the system operational requirements and the

required detail level is available.

Use a minimum height of 2 m (6.5 ft.) when ceiling mounting a camera for best results.

For multiple camera layouts, ensure the camera areas overlap for full coverage.

2.2 Overhead Viewing Angle

Ceiling‐mounted cameras capture a top‐of‐head shot when the person is directly under the

camera. Hats extend that top-of‐head zone to some degree. Consider the viewing angle when

requiring people identification or recognition.

2.3 Lighting

Avoid bright light sources pointing towards the camera lens. Always face lighting away from the

camera or above the camera installation line (if ceiling mounted).

The auto-sensor adjusts the camera continuously to optimize the image by increasing exposure

time. Furthermore, the maximum frame rate is reduced as exposure time increases. The image

remains in full colour until below one Lux, after which it transitions to black and white for better

contrast.

3 Indoor Camera

3.1 The Evolution 180 Indoor Camera

The Evolution 180 Indoor Camera is designed for mounting on flat surfaces such as walls and

ceilings, or alternatively it may be screwed onto the bottom of a pendant cable conduit. The

camera is supplied with three mounting brackets, angled at 0°, 25° and 45°. These allow the

installer to tilt the highest-quality centre of the camera’s fisheye image towards the plane of

greatest interest in the scene. The camera firmware also allows fine adjustment up and down of

the panoramic image to best capture the area of interest. See Scene Offset Angle, Section 6.2

Cabling may be routed through any of the conduit ports on the top or sides of the mounting

brackets, or directly into the rear from the mounting surface for concealed cabling. The mounting

brackets may also be used for pendant mounting, routing cables through their top conduit ports.

Each bracket has a rear cover for this option. The 25° and 45° brackets may also be used for

back-to-back mounting of two cameras if required, using two M4 x 12 mm screws provided (one

with each camera). The 0° mounting bracket may also be used for ceiling-mount orientation,

either surface-mounted or as a pendant mounting bracket with its rear cover fitted.

3.4 Camera Mounting Accessories

The three mounting brackets supplied with the Indoor camera allow for a wide variety of

installation environments. Each of them may be surface-mounted, for example to a wall or

ceiling, or screwed directly onto the bottom of a threaded pendant conduit. The conduit ports are

threaded with a metric M20 x 1.5mm (L) thread, and an adapter (F) is supplied to allow use with

¾” threaded conduits.

3.4.1 0° Mounting Bracket (C)

Flat wall-mounting at a low height is ideal for capturing people’s activity and faces, but depending

on the usage environment, consideration should be given to the risk of people interfering with a

camera that is within easy reach.

Similar scenes may still be achieved at higher mounting heights using the Scene Offset Angle

control to lower the view produced by the panorama. In the example above the camera is

mounted flat to the wall at a height of 1.7 m (5 ft 7 in), and a Scene Offset Angle of -15° is used to

show more of the floor area instead of less relevant ceiling. See Section 6.2.6.5 for details.

3.4.2 25° Mounting Bracket (J)

Wall-mounting the 25° Mounting Bracket allows a similar area to be captured to flat wall-

mounting, but from a higher vantage point. This helps keep the camera out of reach while still

producing a complete 180-degree view of a large area. With ordinary panoramic cameras,

mounting at an angle in this way causes a bending effect to the image, making vertical objects tilt

outwards towards the sides, but with Oncam Angle Compensation Technology, they are perfectly

parallel:

Set the “Wall Mount Angle” control in the camera’s Web interface. See Section 6.2.6 for details.

Installation & User Manual – Oncam Evolution 180 Camera Range

April 2018

3.4.3 45° Mounting Bracket (G)

The 45° Mounting Bracket can be mounted on the ceiling or wall and is useful in long, narrow

scenes like corridors, where having a degree of side view is beneficial. As with the 25° Mounting

Bracket, Oncam Angle Compensation Technology can be used to straighten-out distortion

caused by tilting the camera away from the horizon. See Section 6.2.6 for details.

3.5 Camera Installation

Do not remove the blue protection sticker from the lens until installation is complete and the

3.7 Lens Handling and Cleaning

Do not remove the blue protection sticker from the lens until installation is complete and the

camera is ready for testing. Clean the lens only when necessary. You should only handle the

lens in a clean, low-dust environment while wearing powder-free acetone-impenetrable gloves.

Since oil, dust and debris from your hands, the environment or from used lens tissue can stain,

scratch or damage the lens, do not touch the lens transmissive or reflective surfaces, and never

reuse a lens tissue.

Inspect a lens for dust and stains by holding it near a bright visible-light source. Viewing the lens

at different angles allows you to see scattering from dust and stains.

Installation & User Manual – Oncam Evolution 180 Camera Range

16 of 54

April 2018

3.7.1 Clean-Air Duster

Always blow dust off your lens before cleaning. If the dusted lens has no visible stains after using

the clean-air duster, no further actions are necessary. If the lens is not clean, properly use

solvents or a lens tissue.

1. Compressed air or nitrogen must be filtered and oil-free. De-ionized gas is recommended.

Note: Commercially available chemical dusters are acceptable (such as those designed for

electronics or keyboards).

2. Hold the can upright, otherwise the propellant can spray and permanently damage the lens.

3.7.2 Solvent and Lens Tissues

Always use lint-free tissue with a solvent.

CAUTION: Dry lens tissue can scratch optical surfaces.

A good solvent is a mixture of 60% acetone* with 40% methanol. Acetone alone dries too quickly.

The methanol slows the evaporation time and also dissolves debris.

Always use acetone-impenetrable gloves when using acetone. Acetone is not recommended for

plastic optics.

Isopropyl alcohol is safe and an effective alternative. However, it does evaporate more slowly

and so can leave drying marks on the lens.

3.7.3 Cleaning Procedures

Clean the edge of the optic before cleaning the face (central area) to prevent dirt from being

drawn up onto the face. Wipe slowly to allow the solvent to evaporate without streaking.

Remember, slow and steady cleans the optic.

1. Make a lens-tissue brush by folding the lens tissue so that the fold is nearly as wide as the

optic.

2. Do not touch any part of the tissue that will touch the optic. With tweezers, grip the folded

tissue parallel to and near the fold.

3. Clean the edges of the exposed optic, tracing the inside edge of the mount in a slow circle.

4. Use caution to move slowly to allow the solvent to evaporate; do not double back over your

path.

5. As you approach your starting point trace a decreasing radius circle until you reach the

centre of the lens.

6. Lift the tissue slowly to prevent solvent from accumulating at the lens centre.

4 Outdoor Camera

4.1 The Evolution 180 Outdoor camera

The Evolution 180 Outdoor camera is designed for installation on flat surfaces or pendants. The

camera is supplied with a mount bracket that is used to fix the camera to the wall or alternatively

it may be screwed onto the bottom of a pendant conduit of sufficient strength.

The mounting bracket has been designed to enable the camera to be tilted from horizontal to -45°

which allows the installer to tilt the camera’s fisheye image towards the plane of greatest interest

in the scene. The camera’s firmware also allows the panoramic image to be adjusted up and

down to frame the area of interest.

Cabling may be routed through the top or side conduit ports on the mounting bracket, or directly

into the rear from the mounting surface for concealed cabling.

4.4 Camera Mounting Accessories

The Outdoor camera features an integrated bracket that allows the camera to be pointed

anywhere from horizontal to 45° downwards with a continuously-variable mount angle. Using the

two locking screws on the side, the camera can be securely fixed at the desired angle.

The bracket provides various cable entry ports, depending on how the bracket is mounted. From

within the bracket, the cable is then passed through either of the two cable glands, into the

camera’s inner body, and then terminated with an RJ45 plug.

The integrated bracket allows two main mounting options:

4.4.1 Surface mounted

The bracket may be fixed to a wall or similar flat surface using four screws suited to the material.

Cable entry into the bracket in three ways:

1) Through the large slots in the rear of the bracket, directly from the mounting surface

2) Through one of the conduit ports on the sides of the bracket, via the M12 to M20

adapter supplied.

3) Through the top conduit port, optionally using the M32 to M20 adapter ring supplied

An M32 conduit plug is provided to seal the top conduit port and M20 plugs seal the side ports,

when they are not used.

4.4.2 Pendant mounted

The mounting bracket may be screwed-onto the bottom of an M32x1.5 threaded drop-conduit.

An M32x1.5 locking nut is included to secure the direction in which the camera pointing in the

desired direction. It may alternatively be fitted to a camera mounting arm, available separately, if

required.

Cable entry is via the pendant conduit or arm, directly into the mounting bracket. A rear cover is

fitted to the back of the mounting bracket to cover the unused fixing holes and give the visible

rear of the camera a tidy finish. The cover is fixed in place using the M32 conduit port plug from

the top of the bracket.

4.5 Camera Installation

Note:

Do not remove the clear screen protection film from the camera dome until installation is

complete and the camera is ready for testing.

The following instructions are provided for the installation of your Oncam Evolution 180 Outdoor

Camera presupposing that PoE will be used rather than the 12V supply. (Both power supplies

must not be used simultaneously). If using a 12V supply please refer to Section 10.1.3 for further

instructions regarding installation.

Refer to the Camera Web Interface on page 27 for configuration and details on features and

functionality.

4.5.1 Option A: Surface Mounting

4.5.1.1 Prepare the bracket for surface mounting

Take the mounting bracket and remove the back cover by unscrewing the M20 plug and M32 to

M20 adapter. Refit them into the unused port on the top of the bracket.

When deciding on the location of the camera, allowance must be made for the overall size of the

assembled camera ensuring space is left for any rotation of the camera angle.

4.5.1.2 Drill holes

Take the drilling template and the mounting bracket, aligning the template with the mounting

bracket in the required location. Ensuring there is enough clearance for the whole camera unit,

take the drilling template, peel back the printed side from the backing and stick it to the area of

the wall selected for fixing the camera. Drill the holes for mounting the bracket using the cross

haired points for guidance for mounting holes. If the cable is going to be fed in from the rear of

the bracket a cable hole will have to be drilled within the shaded area. (Allow additional spacing

around the aperture to ensure there are no sharp bends in the cable).

4.5.1.3 Route a cable through bracket

For surface mounting, the cable or cables (12V power cable and LAN cable) can be routed

through the mounting bracket in 2 different ways:

1. Rear entry of mounting bracket

2. Side entry via the M12 Conduit port using the M12 to M20 adapter (J). For side entry via a

M12 conduit. Remove the conduit plugs and screw in the M12 adapter (J). Taking the cable

protruding from the conduit, feed it through the red plastic grommet and pass it through the

M12 adapter (J) into the mounting bracket.

Allow approximately 30cm of cable to be pulled through the bracket to enable fitting.
