Challenges
Fragmented systems
Multi-brand legacy hardware complicated maintenance and slowed response.
High coverage cost
Tall, open library spaces demanded many cameras to avoid blind spots.
Challenging lighting
Back-lit faces and projector-dark classrooms caused over/under-exposure without reliable facial detail.
Aesthetics
Bulky devices disrupted the library's academic ambience.
Solution
Milesight deployed 400+ high-definition cameras across the campus—12MP fisheyes in the library and atriums, and 8MP cameras across corridors and entrances—unified on Nx Witness VMS to deliver wide coverage, centralized management, and a significantly lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
Milesight 12MP Fisheye + Nx Witness
Distortion-Free 360° & 38m Monitoring with Nx Dewarping
Milesight's ultra-high-resolution fisheye camera with distortion-free dewarping directly in Nx Witness, delivering effective monitoring up to 38 m while preserving detail across the frame.
One Camera, Many Angles — Lower Use Cost
A single fisheye can replace 6–8 fixed cameras in large spaces while splitting into multiple operator-friendly views inside Nx, reducing hardware, licenses, cabling, and training—and improving situational awareness.
Turn 360° into Tileable “Virtual Cameras”
With deep Nx compatibility, operators simply drag to select any region on the 360° view. Nx Witness Create Zoom Window opens an dewarped and zoom view alongside the panorama, and lets you add and freely arrange multiple zoom layouts. So one Milesight fisheye behaves like several cameras without losing the 360° overview.
Design that Blends into Academic Spaces
Low-profile chassis (<5 cm) with a matte finish integrates discreetly into study areas and halls.
Campus Coverage with 8MP Milesight Cameras
High-Resolution Detail Where It Matters
Campus-wide 8MP coverage captures reliable detail at corridors and entrances for identification and evidence.
Super WDR (>120 dB)
Handles bright windows + back-lit faces + projector-dark classrooms, preserving facial and behavior detail.
Starlight Low-Light Performance
Maintains clear imagery in lights-off or low-illumination scenarios to keep teaching spaces visible and actionable.
