It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
dewarped pane.
The image produced by 360° cameras is round and distorted until dewarping algorithms are applied to make the image flat and clear. The first time I saw our CDI51360PV 360° camera in action, the song "I Can See Clearly Now", written and recorded by Johnny Nash in 1972, came to mind. Naturally, as the Marketing Manager, I felt the need to create a 360° dewarping remix of the song.
Now that we've had a little fun, let's get into the technology...

Have you ever had a hard to reach camera that is difficult to focus? More than likely you have come across these scenarios in the field that make focusing a camera challenging:
- No test monitor during installation
- Cameras with hard to reach buttons
- Cameras mounted on high ceilings
Focusing a camera is a job that isn't always finished after installation. Sometimes the view of the camera will need to be changed requiring the focus to be adjusted. Outdoor elements such as extreme wind and rain or other vibrations that can cause the camera to shift out of focus. Whenever focus challenges and changes arise, having a remote focus camera is the answer!

**'Tis The Season For Giving...**
Each year, Costar Video Systems takes time to celebrate the holiday season as a 'family' by hosting an annual Christmas Party for its employees and their significant others. This year we hosted our Christmas Party at Farina's Winery and Cafe in Grapevine, Texas. It was a wonderful evening filled with food, fun and family. In conjunction with this annual event, Costar Video Systems and its employees also give back.
