Choose Axis dewarped resolution after setting the mounting position

Bottom line: Resolve mounting orientation and the chosen view mode before forming the stream request. Keep each mode’s supported resolution with its channel identity rather than applying one convenient resolution everywhere.

Source fact: documented behavior

Axis’s Dewarped views says dewarped modes have their own valid resolutions and rotations, and a request must supply a valid resolution for its selected view.

The source explicitly says the same resolution cannot be used for every dewarped view.

It directs configuring camera orientation before using those views because available modes depend on wall, ceiling or desk mounting.

What the source does not establish

Do not infer that every panoramic model offers the same modes or that a displayed dewarped image is the archived projection. Confirm the exact camera’s documented capabilities. Keep this stream-request decision separate from physical-installation approval, evidence-player compatibility and complete coverage acceptance.

Applicability questions

• What mounting position and orientation are actually configured?
• Which dewarped view mode and channel should this consumer request?
• What resolutions and rotations are valid for that exact mode?
• What separate archive and export requirements must remain satisfied?

DSE recommendation: controlled next steps

The following steps are DSE recommendations based on the cited source.

DSE recommends a per-view stream map built after the actual mounting configuration has been checked.

1. Review the installed camera and its approved mounting arrangement with the responsible owner. Record the actual orientation setting and available modes through the supported interface. Do not change a physical mount or copy another model’s mode list merely to satisfy a previously hard-coded stream request.
2. For each intended consumer, identify the actual view mode, its valid resolution choices and the permitted rotation. Have an operator select the required scene and task before forming the request. Keep an overview stream and a dewarped stream in separate rows when both are required, rather than giving them one assumed common request profile.
3. Start an approved harmless pilot with the selected supported request and inspect the resulting view. Preserve the sanitized request and returned outcome. If another mode is required, build its request from that mode’s own information. Review actual recording and export consumers separately through their supported workflows, and restore the approved arrangement if a required path cannot be established.

Verification and evidence

Retain the mounting setting, available-mode information, per-mode valid resolutions, selected requests and resulting scene observations. Ask a second reviewer to match each consumer to its intended view and explain the basis for its resolution. Keep any rejected request or unexpected projection as a finding for the identified mode.

Use a proposed paper case where a working overview resolution is copied into every dewarped request after a mounting change. Require the reviewer to rebuild the affected per-view rows before a live change. No stream was opened, mount changed or archive tested for this article; compatibility and investigative detail remain separately evidenced requirements.
