What is IP Video System Design Tool?
IP Video System Design Tool by JVSG is a professional software application for designing video surveillance systems. It enables security professionals to plan camera placement, calculate lens focal lengths, and estimate bandwidth and storage requirements with precision. The tool supports import of floor plans and AutoCAD drawings, and offers realistic 3D modeling to visualize camera coverage and DORI zones (Detection, Observation, Recognition, Identification). With a database of over 21,800 camera models and vendor-agnostic design capabilities, it helps create professional proposals and work orders. The software can operate fully offline for maximum data security.
