What a good CCTV planner does for you

Planning a CCTV system on paper — or worse, in your head — almost always leaves gaps. A proper camera planner lets you test positions virtually so the layout you hand to the client (or the installer) is the one that actually works:

• Plan camera positions to scale. Upload any PNG, JPG, or PDF floor plan and set the scale from one known distance, such as a door width. Every camera you place is then planned at true real-world distance.
• See the field of view. Pick from 300+ camera models and the planner draws the exact coverage cone for that lens — adjust the heading, tilt, and mounting height and the coverage updates live.
• Find blind spots automatically. One click runs a coverage analysis: covered areas turn green, partial amber, and uncovered red, with a coverage score in percent.
• Plan across multiple floors. A single plan can hold unlimited floors and zones, so you can plan a whole building — mall, hotel, warehouse, or campus — in one place.
• Export the plan. Generate a PDF or interactive HTML camera plan with the layout, a camera schedule, and the coverage analysis ready to share.

How to plan a CCTV layout in 3 steps

• 1. Upload the floor plan and set the scale from any known measurement.
• 2. Place and aim cameras — choose a model, position it, and adjust the field of view until each area is covered.
• 3. Check coverage and export — run the blind-spot analysis, close any gaps, and export the plan as a PDF.
