low price fixed point 360 degree camera

I've come to hear a lot about the need to use 360-degree cameras for fixed-point surveillance. For example, when it comes to monitoring farms and factories, you want multiple camera systems. In that case, the portability and price of camera systems are important items to consider. Therefore, in order to make the system as low and small as possible, I made a camera system using the Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi), which is a commercially available single board computer, and Insta360 Air, which is the same commercially available 360-degree camera.

Hardware pricing structure

Total price: 25,000 yen
・Raspberry Pi 3 Model B: 5,000 yen
・Insta360 Air: 20,000 yen

Cooperation with server systems

The prototype works as follows.
1. Acquire Insta360 Air binocular fisheye videos with Razpi
2. Real-time stitching of binocular fisheye videos in Razpi
3. Live streaming with RTMP from Razpi
4. Live reception and display on PanoPlaza Movie
5. Save data as an archive with PanoPlaza Movie

Towards full-scale operation

On the prototype machine, videos are sent out at around 1 FPS due to performance restrictions on the Razpi. Also, since both the Razpi and camera are exposed, they are intended for indoor use, but by creating an appropriate housing, they can also be used outdoors. If you are interested in a 360-degree surveillance system as a system for cameras, networks, servers, etc., please feel free to contact us.
