I then asked the CCTV engineer: What can I expect from the entire CCTV installation? Any available documents for me to go through before making a decision to proceed or not?<\/p>\n
He looked at me and said bluntly that the only way to find out is for me to pay up, and get the CCTVs installed, only then can I see the outcome of the entire video surveillance.<\/p>\n
I was like hrrm…. there must be a way he could present some of the following prior to the actual installation:<\/p>\n
- \n
- Camera angles<\/li>\n
- Mock 3d screens<\/li>\n
- Layout for CCTV placements<\/li>\n
- Estimation of storage space and bandwidth required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Instead of proceeding with this CCTV installer who proposed the system based on his experience and gut feelings, I spoke to a few other installers and finally found one who’s professional enough to provide me with the above information.<\/p>\n
The best part, was when I asked him what software he used to generate and produce the info I asked for. He mentioned that he used<\/p>\n
- \n
- JVSG’s IP Video System Design Tool<\/li>\n
- VideoCAD<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
The combination of both these software helps to visualize a client’s requirements for video surveillance.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nJVSG’s IP Video System Design Tool<\/strong><\/a> allows CCTV engineers to visually see the camera’s coverage area to ensure CCTVs are positioned at the right angle.<\/p>\n
It also has the ability to make calculations of storage and bandwidth requirements to ensure the client doesn’t encounter insufficient disk space problems.<\/p>\n
Once you have all your calculations, drawings, and 3D pictures ready, they can be easily exported to Word, Excel<\/a>, and Visio for documentation purposes.<\/p>\n
<\/a>VideoCAD<\/a><\/strong> is a tool for professional video surveillance system design modeling and measuring parameters of video images<\/a> and video equipment.<\/p>\nWith VideoCAD, even beginners can use the tool to model the entire video surveillance system as a whole.<\/p>\n
When dealing with clients, now you can really cut down on controversial situations and instead accelerate a CCTV solution for them.<\/p>\n
Hope these two CCTV design and modeling software helps!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
