If the 'angle' is cleared out and documented on the wiki, I might
add that too.<br>

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