How to configure a Fisheye image on a Speco Blue Recorder.

While a fisheye camera can be used on all Speco Blue recorders, not all Speco Blue recorders support changing the view of the fisheye image.

FISHEYE CAN ONLY BE ADJUSTED ON AN N64NR/N128NR AS WELL AS ANY NRE SERIES RECORDER

• First, Right click on the fisheye camera's image. 
  • A menu should appear. An option on that menu should be Fisheye. Please 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 that can be controlled as PTZ to view specific areas of the image.
    • Fisheye+8PTZ, which will show the full fisheye image, as well as 8 separate images that can be controlled as PTZ to view specific areas of the image.
