ViewIT Business Security Camera systems support three display perspectives: fisheye, dewarped, and multi-split screen so New Zealand SMBs can view their footage the way that suits their site best. Fisheye gives you a full 360° view from a single camera, ideal for covering an entire room or open area (like a shop floor or reception) without blind spots or extra hardware. Dewarping takes that curved 360° fisheye image and digitally corrects it into a flat, natural-looking view, so people, numberplates, and till areas are easy to make out rather than distorted at the edges. Multi-split screen displays several cameras at once in a grid (4, 6, 9, or 16-way layouts), so you can monitor your whole site; shop front, stockroom, carpark from one screen instead of switching between feeds. Most business setups use a combination of all three, and operators can switch between views on the same monitoring app or NVR interface at any time, at no extra cost on top of your camera and software package.
