Four cameras provide a 360 degree view of an area using a four sided pyramid shaped element. The four sides of the pyramid shaped element are reflective and reflect images from four different directions. Each camera is positioned to receive a reflected image from one of the reflective sides of the pyramids. The cameras are arranged so that they share a common virtual optical center. Pixel data from the cameras is stored in a memory, and the data is selectively retrieved from the memory for viewing based on a user's input.
