Guite to Dewarp Fisheye Camera
Here are the steps to dewarp fisheye images for the CVIVD-EL4F camera via the local interface of a supported Fisheye Elite Series DVR and Smart PSS.
While on the local interface – right-click and select Fisheye. You will need to enter your login information if you haven’t logged in yet. From here there are two options:
- Fit Mode (ceiling, wall, and ground options)
- Show Mode (7 different single and split-screen viewing options)
The 9-Split View (in the bottom row) has nine separate views on one screen. Each of the outer 8 squares is found as a specific color located in the middle of the screen. You are able to sort these and arrange them differently. Simply click the center inside any of the squares and drag it to change the viewing direction.
To change views, right click on the interface and click on the Fisheye menu option.

That is how to dewarp fisheye surveillance cameras from a fisheye supported Elite Series DVR.
Next, let’s switch to Smart PSS and show you how to use the multi-screen track. Pull the fisheye camera up on the recorder and put it in a single channel view.
Right-click on the interface and select Multi-Screen Track. Three options will then come up in the menu.
#1: Normal Mode
#2: 1 + 3 Mode
#3: 1 + 5 Mode
Once inside each of the multi-screen mode options; click and drag inside the box to change the view inside fisheye single view, 1 + 3 Mode, and 1 + 5 Mode.
And that is how to use the multi-screen track using Smart PSS and how to dewarp fisheye video footage through a fisheye-supported Elite Series DVR. Please watch the video below if you are having any difficulty.
