As seen below, the picture is very squatty on this camera. Is that normal for a 180 view? I just installed it this weekend and was wondering why the picture was like this.

Yep that is normal for a wide angle view camera. One of the reasons why we say it makes a great OVERVIEW camera but not IDENTIFY camera. It makes people thinner than they are LOL.

But it is nice for looking around.

And that close in the middle of the image where it is spliced, yep.

Now there is a splicing adjustment in the camera that can correct some of that, but not all of it.

I like thinner part! lol. Make the splice further out on the camera settings and that will fix some of it?
 
Yeah I like how I look on the 180 too LOL.

play with the splice distance until you find that sweet spot. If you go too far out on the splice then you can disappear in the middle of the frame lol

You won't be able to really fix that unless camera has some type of LDC ability (barrel correctness but that really only crops the picture so you lose FOV) or the cam can split the 180 degree shot into two different channels that fit a 16:9 screen and you could view each channel separately.

Think about it, there is no way to display a resolution of 4096 x 1800 on a modern 16:9 monitor without a fisheye look to it unless you shrink the image down or crop it to fit.

10-4. Thanks. I don’t think the camera an be split into two channels, but if it could, I might would do that. I’m not using to identify up close on one area, I’m just trying to see the side of the house in general.
