Upgrade from VideoCAD 8 Lite to VideoCAD 12 Professional for a comprehensive and advanced camera installation planning tool. VideoCAD offers a wide range of features to assist in choosing the most suitable lenses, heights, and locations for camera installation to meet specific requirements for detection and identification of individuals and license plate reading.
With VideoCAD, users can calculate the horizontal projection of camera control areas, taking into account shadows from obstacles on the scene. The software allows for the display of different regions of spatial resolution and field-of-view size using separate colors and hatch styles. Users can also calculate the horizontal projection sizes of viewing areas, person detecting areas, identifying areas, and license plate reading areas to draw them on the location plan.
VideoCAD enables users to calculate the image size on display of any object in the camera view area in percentage of display size, pixels, TV lines, and millimeters. Additionally, the software can calculate and model the depth of field of each camera in the project, as well as choose visually the relative location of cameras using the graphics window with a CAD interface.
Users can locate cameras and cables on prepared layouts in various formats, including *.bmp, *.jpg, *.emf, *.wmf, *.png, *.gif, *.tif, AutoCAD *.dwg, and *.dxf. The software also allows for the import of *.dwg and *.dxf files using the CAD Import module by CAD Soft Tools.
VideoCAD provides users with the ability to obtain a drawing containing two projections of the site layout with camera images, calculated view areas and cables, coordinate grid, and titles for graphical path of the project. The software allows for printing the obtained drawing on one or several pages, as well as exporting the drawing into various formats, including *.bmp, *.jpg, *.emf, *.wmf, *.png, *.gif, *.tif, AutoCAD *.dxf (R14), and AutoCAD *.dxf (R2000).
Users can export a text file with a full description of all cameras in the project, view areas, and cables to be used in a project explanatory note or installation instructions. VideoCAD also provides a detailed adjustable table of all initial and calculated parameters of cameras in the project, which can be printed or exported to *.txt, *.csv, *.rtf, *.xls, and *.htm formats.
With VideoCAD, users can construct three-dimensional models of real scenes, including the ability to load prepared 3D models. The software allows for modeling observed scene parameters, luminaires, camera parameters, lens parameters, DVR parameters, and more. Users can obtain an Image Model for each camera in the project based on models of the scene and equipment, which can be printed and saved.
Overall, VideoCAD 12 Professional is a powerful tool for camera installation planning, offering a wide range of features to enhance efficiency, reduce time expended, and improve design quality. This software is ideal for professionals in the security and surveillance industry looking to optimize camera installations and win tenders with advanced planning capabilities.
