With years of experience in security industry, I've witnessed firsthand the challenges that security professionals face when planning CCTV installations.

CCTV planning has traditionally been a time-consuming and complex process. Creating accurate layouts, calculating camera coverage zones, determining optimal camera placement, and documenting network topologies often takes hours - if not days - of manual work.

The Problem: Traditional methods of drawing on paper or using generic design software are inefficient, prone to errors, and don't provide the technical precision needed for professional CCTV installations.

The Solution: I developed CCTV Designer specifically to address these challenges. This web-based application streamlines the entire planning process, allowing security professionals to:

• Upload floor plans or use live maps
• Set precise scales for accurate measurements
• Visualize camera coverage with realistic FOV cones
• View DORI zones (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify)
• Design network topology with automatic IP assignment
• Generate professional reports and BOM documents
• Simulate night vision and wall occlusion

The Mission: To make CCTV planning faster, more accurate, and truly professional - helping security companies save time, reduce errors, and deliver better results to their clients.
