The platform that drives your security projects

With this update, Site Planning Tool consolidates its position as the best ally for installers. Our solution makes it possible to design and plan CCTV projects with precision, reducing errors and optimizing project execution time.

Key Features of Site Planning Tool

We continue to add new functionalities to our security project simulation platform. We’ve renewed and expanded tools to make your experience more intuitive and complete:

• Redesigned interface: cleaner, more usable, with an intuitive and efficient user experience.

• Draw Wall Blocker: draw obstacles (walls, physical objects) directly on the map. It simulates occlusion and helps represent detection areas more accurately in real-world conditions.

• Map Ruler: measure distances between two points on the map—ideal for planning and fine-tuning camera placement with precision.

• Project Search & Sorting: quickly find your projects with the new search bar and sort them by edit date, creation date, or name, making it easier to manage multiple installations.

Improvements in functionality and security

• Request a Quote: new button on the main screen that lets users request a project quote with just one click.

• User protection: CAPTCHA added to the registration page to enhance security and prevent automated bot sign-ups. This ensures only legitimate users can access the platform, increasing reliability and safeguarding data.

• Width at Maximum Distance: calculates each camera’s detection width at its maximum range. This helps installers assess coverage accurately, improving project planning and minimizing installation errors.

• Updated PDF reports: redesigned with a modern, professional look for easier reading and presentation of project details, including camera design and coverage.

Additional adjustments and optimizations

• Consistent zoom across all views: zoom controls now work uniformly across all map views, including the “blank” view, ensuring a smoother and more predictable navigation experience.

• Optimized notification management: users now receive accurate notifications when editing projects, offering better control and project management.

• Restricted access to hidden camera models: zoom controls now prevent access to hidden camera models, ensuring interaction only with visible and configured devices.

• Native browser zoom disabled: improves platform stability and avoids unexpected behavior when navigating maps.

Key benefits of Site Planning Tool for installers

Are your cameras positioned at the right angles to cover every critical area without blind spots? Have you calculated the height and range correctly to optimize detection? And what about physical obstacles—such as walls or trees—that could block the view? The list of potential errors is almost endless, but with the right tools, you can plan CCTV installations precisely and without surprises.

Site Planning Tool offers multiple advantages that make installers’ work easier:

• Minimizes planning errors, ensuring more reliable projects.

• Simplifies coverage calculations and detection zone definition for more effective security.

• Speeds up project design and improves accuracy in device placement.

• Enhances security and optimizes the user experience, delivering professional results.

With these improvements, Site Planning Tool becomes an essential ally for any security installer.
