I would not haved assumed that 360° means a 360° field of view. It means<br>
remote controlled camera who may be viewing at the complete field of<br>
view. <br>
<br>

<br>
And the OSM Article here confirms that assumption:<br>

<br>
"A characteristic dome camera, with usually a dark 'glass' dome under<br>
which a freely moving camera is situated. Also known as a PTZ<br>
(pan/tilt/zoom)"<br>
