VIVOTEK introduces 3D project design tool for surveillance system designers

VIVOTEK has announced the launch of an IP Video System Design Tool, which allows system designers to simulate the coverage of any VIVOTEK network camera system in both 2D and 3D. This free-of-charge tool helps system designers save time when determining the ideal position for any network camera. It also makes the design of professional video surveillance systems not only more cost-effective but also more intelligent. It creates a triple-win by achieving greater satisfaction for system designers, end- users, and VIVOTEK.

VIVOTEK’s IP Video System Design Tool features four key benefits:

• Plan on Accurate Information：VIVOTEK’s IP Video System Design Tool is pre-loaded with detailed specifications of all VIVOTEK’s network cameras. System designers are therefore able to more accurately design a security strategy using the tool’s lens focal-length and viewing-angle calculator. Thanks to its synchronizing feature, the latest camera information can be updated either manually or automatically.
• User-friendly Features：The Design Tool can also estimate bandwidth and storage requirements to help shape the network video systems for any number of network cameras, video servers and delivers an overview of the system deployment for many different surveillance scenarios. 
• Visualized Communications：By fully adopting the intuitive interface and utilizing 2D and 3D modeling, system designers can accurately check the field of view of each camera and therefore reduce blind-spots and coverage gaps. The clarity and accuracy of this simulation mean that users can foresee any issues and avoid problems with during or after installation.
• Realistic Scenarios： To develop an even more realistic system plan, VIVOTEK’s IP Video System Design Tool allows system designers to upload floor plan images in JPEG, JPG, BMP format and PDF background image. In addition, project details can also be exported to PDF for clear project documentation.

The VIVOTEK IP Video System Design Tool can be accessed from VIVOTEK’s website and it supports the following Operating Systems: Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP SP2. For Mac users, please install Parallels Desktop in advance.
