Overview
Fisheye cameras offer a 360-degree field of view, but the images produced are often distorted due to the camera's ultra-wide lens. Coram's software automatically detects fisheye cameras, regardless of manufacturer or resolution, and uses dewarping to transform their output into clear, highly-usable views for all users on your account.
Tip: Dewarping applies for live feeds and all existing video clips on the Timeline page, and any changes you make are applied to all existing video clips, as well as the live feed.
Dewarping Types
Default
Allows you to view the camera without any dewarping, showing the full 360-degree field of view in its native circular format. Useful for quickly assessing the entire area captured by the camera, and allows you to see the unaltered image for full context or when dewarping is not necessary.
Perspective
Allows you to interactively navigate the 360-degree view using your mouse or touchscreen, similar to a virtual pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera. Ideal for focusing on specific areas within the wide field of view.
Four Cut
Displays four distinct views in a 2x2 grid, each showing a different angle or section of the overall scene. Useful for monitoring multiple areas simultaneously from a single view.
Panoramic
Provides a flattened, 180-degree panoramic image of the scene. Best for getting an overall, uninterrupted view of the environment.

Configuring Default Dewarping Settings for your Cameras
To ensure smooth operation, Coram allows you to set the default dewarping configuration for each of your fisheye cameras. Your default dewarping configuration includes the mounting position for your camera, and your preferred dewarping type.
Note: Selecting the correct mounting position is crucial for accurate dewarping.
Tip: You can change the default dewarping type at any time based on your needs.
Access the Coram web app and sign in to your account.
From the main navigation menu, click Devices.
The Cameras tab is selected by default.
Locate the fisheye camera you want to configure, and click the corresponding Settings button.
For Mounting Position, choose the option that most closely matches how your camera is physically installed.
From the Fisheye Conversion dropdown menu, choose your preferred dewarping type.
Changes are applied automatically, and will take effect the next time you access the camera's Timeline view. To learn more, refer to .
Note: If dewarping settings are not available for your fisheye camera, contact Coram support.
