  (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.).
