AXIS Site Designer is your go-to tool for designing surveillance systems of all sizes. It provides huge opportunities to reduce time when creating quotations and simplifies component selection, letting you efficiently solve specific tasks such as choosing and placing the right surveillance cameras in different areas using the right accessories. It is easy to create, print and share documentation and quotations, as well as change them in a few minutes as per requirement. This saves time and you can create more projects and improve the chances of increasing your revenue. 

 

CAD software: If you're planning your security system in Autodesk Revit, Trimble SketchUp or Microsoft Visio, you can use free Axis plugins to include camera models in your design. These models help you get a more professional end-product by offering varying degrees of complexity, from 2D camera shapes to entire camera families in 3D and help you better visualize, for example, camera coverage, or adjusting the field of view from a specific camera. 

Updating and maintaining surveillance systems, especially large systems with lots of different components can be complex and time-consuming. And you certainly don't want to jeopardize the security of your system, cyber or otherwise. Here are just a few tools that will keep devices and systems updated and optimized – fast, easy and cost-effective. 

 

AXIS Device Manager simplifies installation and management of all the devices in your surveillance system, from configuring new devices to installing upgrades in an existing system. For example, instead of having to update devices one at a time, you can do them in batches on one site – or handle several thousand devices on multiple sites, which saves time and takes the hassle out of the process.
