Material Composition White flame-retardant plastic main housing; Polycarbonate transparent dome cover; Multiple CMOS image sensors; Image processing PCB; Aluminum heat sink; Silicone sealing gasket; Metal ceiling mounting bracket.

Structural Characteristics Round ceiling embedded mounting structure; Multiple optical windows arranged for multi-sensor panoramic capture; Internal circuit cavity sealed with gasket; Bottom side mounting holes for ceiling installation; Rear cable entry opening for Ethernet and I/O wiring.

Working Principle PoE power transmits over Ethernet cable to power the camera. Multiple CMOS sensors capture separate wide-angle image frames. Onboard processor stitches individual frames into continuous panoramic video stream. Video analytics algorithm detects moving objects and triggers alarm events. Compressed video data transmits to video management server via Ethernet.

Installation Requirements Fix mounting bracket firmly on ceiling surface. Route Ethernet cable through ceiling opening. Complete PoE network wiring. Adjust camera angle and perform image stitching calibration. Set privacy mask and motion detection rules via web interface.

Usage Notes Keep transparent dome cover clean to avoid image blur. Avoid direct strong light shining on optical window. Do not open housing during power supply. Check network cable shielding for stable data transmission. Avoid mechanical impact on dome cover.
