Now you can achieve real-time viewing of an entire scene from a single camera. Users can simultaneously view a 360-degree image as well as three (3) distortion-corrected images on individual sub-frames, each with their own digital PTZ support. Wall mounted cameras using the De-warping module can also use the Panorama view feature which de-warps the 360 image into a full-panoramic view of the cameras fields of vision. User may digitally pan across and zoom in and out of the image for added review capability. This guide has been constructed to aid in the configuration and use of the VIGIL 360 De-Warping software on a VIGIL Server system. Note: Users must have purchased and registered a 360 De-warping Module license for each 360 camera they wish to de-warp. Please purchase and register your license through the 3xLOGIC WebReg system before continuing. 1

2 2 Configuring a Camera for use with VIGIL X-View Please note that the de-warping software module is automatically installed along with VIGIL Server and becomes available once a license has been registered. To configure the 3xLOGIC 360 De-Warping Software for use with one of your VIGIL Server s cameras, open your VIGIL Server software s interface. From the VIGIL Server main screen, click the Settings (1) button in the icon menu toolbar. Select the Camera Setup tab (2). From the cameras list, select the camera that is to be used with the de-warping software (3). With your desired camera selected, click the Camera Control tab(4) located at the bottom of the Camera Setup page. In the Type drop-down menu(5), select the 360 Dewarping option (ceiling or wall mount) that is best suited for your camera s application. Click OK or Apply to save the newly configured settings. 2
