Interesting.  Definitely interested in the answer.  Also interested to see if it is considered on-topic here or not.

It's definitely on topic since I'm just asking for the device and its API. I believe this is the stackexchange's website where I should ask.

# Recommandation for a 360 degrees video camera for developers

(Asked by: username_0 on 2012-12-17)

I'm a developer and I'm intending to develop a camera based surveillance software.

The simplest way is to try and pick a 360 degrees video camera. I found some models but the problem is that the recorded/real-time flow videos are only readable by the manufacturer's software (example: [GoPano](http://www.gopano.com/store/)).

Is there any 360° video camera device that is shipped with tools for developers so that we can build our own softwares ? Are there alternatives ?

The idea is to have a real time video flow that could be consumable by any platform (browser, iOS SDK, Android SDK, etc.).

Regards.
