Montreal. Monday March 26, 2007: ImmerVision, the expert in 360° panoramic imaging technology and developer of the IMV1-1/3 Panomorph lens for video surveillance, announced today that the Petards, Inc., the leading international supplier of advanced security, surveillance, and public safety systems, has successfully certified that all its Network Video Recorders (NVRs) are ImmerVision Enables.
