Design security cameras that actually cover the site
A security camera is only useful if it sees what it is meant to see. This design tool makes coverage visible so you can guarantee it:
- Real field-of-view cones for 300+ camera models, calculated from each lens angle with mounting height and tilt applied.
- DORI zones — Detection, Observation, Recognition, and Identification — drawn per camera to BS EN 62676-4 and IEC 62676-4, so you can prove a face is identifiable where it matters.
- Live people simulation — virtual pedestrians walk the plan so you can show clients precisely what each camera captures.
- Wall-aware coverage — field of view clips at walls, doors, and obstacles, so there is no phantom coverage through solid surfaces.
- Blind-spot heatmap with a coverage score to catch gaps before installation.
From design to client sign-off
When the layout is right, export a branded PDF or interactive HTML report containing the camera layout, a full camera schedule with mounting and cable details, the coverage analysis, and engineer notes — everything a client, consultant, or authority needs to approve the security design.
Built for every kind of site
Use it to design security camera systems for retail and malls, hotels, residential villas, warehouses and logistics, offices, schools, and campuses — at any scale, from one camera to thousands.
Frequently asked questions
How accurate is the coverage simulation?
Field-of-view cones use the manufacturer's published lens angle with mounting height and tilt applied, matching real-world coverage within about 5% on standard installations.
Does it support my camera brand?
The database covers 300+ models from Hikvision, Dahua, Axis, Bosch, Hanwha, Uniview, and many more — and you can add a custom camera with any lens angle.
Is it free?
Yes, free during early access with no download and no camera limit.
