# Analyze 360° panorama video

360 analysis can use the original panorama or analyze several directions from the same sampled moment. Use a stitched 2:1 panorama from RTSP or a video file. An ordinary fisheye image or screen capture is not a substitute for this panorama format.

Before starting, verify that the source plays, local AI is ready, and Monitoring is enabled in Camera settings. Ask the camera manufacturer or video provider if you are unsure of the image format.

## Choose an analysis mode

1.  Open Camera settings for the source. Select its RTSP source or use Upload video to choose a panorama recording.
2.  Enable 360° image. Under 360 analysis mode, choose Original panorama or Directional analysis. The first uses the complete frame; the second produces reports for individual views.
3.  Directional analysis offers two, three, or four views. Fewer views reduce coverage; check the on-screen coverage notes. The standard directional views do not cover the poles.
4.  In Advanced 360 options, mark the projection as verified only after confirming a stitched full-sphere equirectangular source (360° × 180°). The checkbox does not calibrate the source.
5.  Select Start 360 analysis. An RTSP source restarts on its own; a video file opens an offline case for the complete recording. Other sources keep running.

Settings are saved for this camera and apply on its next start. Changing a saved option does not switch an analysis already running.

## Review reports and evidence

After live 360 analysis starts, select Reports on the camera toolbar. For a recording, open its offline case. Check the source, sampled timestamp, image, and report. In directional mode, review each view.

Direction labels do not establish physical orientation without on-site calibration. Identify entrances or areas against the source image. For case search, retry, and exports, see [Offline Analysis](https://watch.tensordynamics.org/docs/offline-analysis?lang=en).

## If analysis will not start or reports are missing

*   Start is unavailable: check that a valid RTSP source or file is selected and Monitoring is enabled. Screen regions use ordinary analysis.
*   The source is managed elsewhere: follow the notice and ask its owner to change the analysis settings.
*   The picture is distorted or an area is missing: recheck stitching, the 2:1 format, view count, and coverage notes. Do not mark the projection verified just to dismiss a warning.
*   No fresh report: check source playback, AI readiness, and any startup error or per-file error in the offline case.
