Based on our testing, the Milestone & Dahua Fisheye Dewarping Plugin does not work with Dahua North America, fisheye cameras.

Step by Step Instructions

1. In the X Protect Management Client, select Devices -> Cameras. Under the device list expand the camera groups until you see your fisheye camera, then select it.

2. Select the Fisheye Lens tab.

3. Check the box next to "Enable fisheye lens support".

4. Next to "Lens type", make sure it is set to "ImmerVision enables panomorph".
Then under "Camera position/orientation", select the orientation of your fisheye camera from the drop down (Ceiling mount, Wall mount, or Ground mount).

5. Next to "ImmerVision Enables panomorph RPL number, select "B4QQV" from the drop down.

6. Select the "Info" tab at the bottom. When it asks you "Do you want to save changes?", select "Yes".

7. Open the X Protect Smart Client. (If it was open during the above steps, close it and then re-open it.)
Open the "Live" section at the top. Select your desired view from the view groups. Find the fisheye camera in the camera list on the left. Drag it into your current view.

8. Double click on the live view of the fisheye camera to make it full-screen. Use your cursor to drag around the image to view different areas.
Alternatively, use the on-screen controls at the bottom left of the camera feed.
