Scallop Imaging wide-angle security cams look to the sea for inspiration
“Boston’s own Scallop Imaging, a Tenebraex subsidiary that has developed a “low-cost” security camera that sees 180 degrees of view without fisheye distortion or the lag present in pan-and-tilt alternatives. Additionally, the multi-eyed cam automatically stitches and downsamples images, and can capture a new 7-megapixel still to transmit over Ethernet “every second or two.” It’s small enough to be placed into a light socket-sized hole, and it’s powered by the same Ethernet cable that links it into a building’s surveillance system.”
