What is a multisensor camera for and when is it worth it?
It is for covering a wide area with even detail from a single mounting point: several independent lenses in the same housing, each with its own field of view, which come out to the system as several cameras even though there is one cable and one power feed.
It is worth it when the place to hang it is expensive and the scene is wide. The corner of an industrial unit, a crossing of corridors, the canopy over a car park: where you would have to run three cables to three different points, here you run one. And it is worth it when the width sits at different distances, because each sensor can have different optics and one can look at ten metres and another at thirty with the same detail on the ground.
It is not worth it when what you have is a narrow scene and a single direction of interest: there you pay for sensors looking at a wall. And you have to look at the software licence before buying, because many systems count each sensor as a camera and what you save on cable you pay in licences.

A written answer is enough to decide whether it interests you. To know whether it works at your site you have to see it on a real scene, with the image as it is and, on top of it, what the system understands from it. That is on the IRIS Neural website, which is the group's product.
