Generating panoramic video for video management systems

A computer system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to:
• access a plurality of non-video still thermal images that comprise thermal image data and that are captured by an array of one or more cameras positioned within an environment and oriented at one or more corresponding angles;
• generate a single video frame by encoding, within the single video frame, a selected set of the non-video still images;
• queue the single video frame into a video rendering stack;
• determine a required video frame rate for a received video stream received by an external VMS;
• repeatedly encode the single video frame within the video rendering stack to form a part of a continuous video stream, such that the part of the continuous video stream comprises at least some of the thermal image data, wherein the single video frame is repeatedly encoded until a video frame rate of the part of the continuous video stream satisfies the required video frame rate required by the external VMS;
• and
• transmit the continuous video stream, including the part of the continuous video stream comprising the at least some of the image data, to the external VMS.
