Fisheye Security Cameras

Fisheye Security Cameras for 180° and 360° Wide-Area Coverage

Fisheye security cameras are a type of panoramic security camera that use a single ultra-wide lens to capture a 180° or 360° view from one camera. They are useful for wide indoor coverage, ceiling-mounted room views, lobbies, offices, retail spaces, and other areas where you want to see more of the scene with fewer cameras.

Unlike standard fixed-lens cameras, fisheye cameras capture a much wider area by spreading the image across a curved lens. This makes them great for general overview coverage, but it also means fine detail drops off faster at distance. For recorded video where clear facial detail matters, we generally recommend using fisheye cameras within about 15ft of the area being monitored.

At CCTV Camera World, we carry both IP fisheye cameras and HD over Coax fisheye cameras. IP models record to an NVR, while HD over Coax models record to a DVR. For corrected 360° viewing, make sure your recorder, VMS, or client software supports fisheye dewarping before choosing a camera.

If you need wider outdoor coverage with less distortion, compare these models with our panoramic security cameras, including 180° multi-sensor and wide-angle PoE cameras.
