      How to Configure Fisheye Viewing on Speco Blue Recorder in Web Browser

      A fisheye camera can be used on all Speco Blue NVRs, and all Speco Blue NVRs support changing the view of the fisheye image from a web browser


      • First, connect to the recorder unit from a web browser, either locally with the IP address or remotely with connect.specotech.cloud
        • For a guide on how to connect to a recorder unit from a computer, CLICK HERE

      • Then, click on the fisheye camera's image in the live-view grid. 
        • The pane on the right side by default will be set to Operation.
        • An option on the top of that menu will be Fisheye.
          • Select Fisheye.

      • The Fisheye Menu will appear. 
        • The top option, Installation Mode, will tell the camera how it is orientated to ensure it is displaying its image in the correct orientation as well.
          • Selecting the Top Mount option will correctly orientate the image from the ceiling's perspective, so the image isn't upside down to the viewer.
          • The Wall Mount option will orientate the image, so the image isn't sideways to the viewer.
          • Desktop Mount is the same concept as Top Mount but this time the camera is pointing up instead of down. 
        • The bottom option, Display Mode, will change depending on what Installation Mode is selected. The options that are available in Display mode are:
          • Fisheye, which is the default circular image.
          • Panorama, which creates 2 separate 180-degree views.
          • Fisheye+3PTZ, which will show the full fisheye image, as well as 3 separate images to view specific areas of the image.
          • Fisheye+8PTZ, which will show the full fisheye image, as well as 8 separate images to view specific areas of the image.
