With the IP Video System Design Tool you can:

• Increase efficiency of security systems while lowering costs and finding the best camera locations.
• Calculate precise camera lens and sensors requirements easily to achieve desired pixel density (PPM/PPF).
• Visually show identification, recognition, observation, detection and monitoring zones of each camera on a site plan.
• Import floor plans in JPEG, PNG, PDF, TIFF or AutoCAD DWG drawings (Pro) to jump start your designs.
• Database of 10,000+ camera models, with pre-configured parameters for easy designing.
• Estimate network bandwidth and storage needs for video archive configuration.
• Plan cable paths and calculate cable lengths.
• Export designs to include with proposals or work orders.

This software offers CAD-like design functionality without a steep learning curve. The Design Tool allows for anything from simple overhead views, to complex 3D models to help explore exactly what the system will capture once installed. Designers consistently tell us how this tool helps them better educate users of the system and set proper expectations for performance, as well as reduce callbacks or move/add/change orders from frustrated customers.
