JVSG online — CCTV Design in Your Browser

CCTV Design Software That Works in a Browser

JVSG Online brings professional video surveillance planning to the web.
You can open the application in a browser and start working with a project
from almost any modern device.

It is especially useful when you need to inspect a site, discuss camera
locations with a customer, or quickly prepare a CCTV layout.

No Installation Required

There is no need to download or install a program to start using JVSG Online.
Open the web application in your browser, load a project or create a new one,
and begin planning.

JVSG Online is convenient for:

• Site surveys
• Customer meetings
• Quick CCTV layouts
• Project review
• Work on tablets and smartphones
• Camera placement

2D CCTV Planning and 3D Scene Viewing

JVSG Online allows you to work with a project in 2D and review the scene
in 3D.

In 2D mode, you can work with a site plan, place cameras, add walls, and
check camera coverage zones. In 3D view, you can better understand how
cameras, walls, people, and scene geometry work together.

2D Editing

Use 2D mode to create or edit the basic CCTV layout:

• Upload a floor plan or background image
• Add walls
• Place cameras
• Add human models
• Adjust camera positions
• Check camera coverage zones
• Review DORI areas on the plan

3D Viewing

Use the 3D view to better understand real-world camera coverage:

• View the project scene in 3D
• See camera coverage in space
• Review walls and obstacles
• Check human models in the scene
• Present the project visually to customers or colleagues

DORI Zones for Video Surveillance Planning

JVSG Online supports DORI zones, helping you understand what each camera
can actually see at different distances.

DORI is commonly used in video surveillance design to describe the level
of detail available in an image:

Detect

An object or person can be detected.

Observe

General activity can be observed.

Recognize

A person or object can be recognized.

Identify

A person can be identified with a higher level of detail.

DORI zones help designers, installers, and customers quickly understand
whether a camera position is suitable for the required surveillance task.

Add Photos and Installation Comments on Site

JVSG Online is especially useful during site surveys.

When visiting a customer location, you can use a tablet or smartphone to
review the plan, select camera positions, and add practical installation
information directly to the project.

Document Camera Installation Points

For each camera location, you can add field information such as:

• Installation comments
• Photos of the mounting location
• Notes about obstacles
• Mounting height observations
• Cable routing remarks
• Customer-specific requirements

This helps reduce the gap between the site survey and final project
documentation.

Works with JVSG Desktop Project Files

One of the key advantages of JVSG Online is compatibility with JVSG
desktop project files.

JVSG Online can open and save project files with the
.jvsgz extension. This allows you to move a project
between the browser-based version and IP Video System Design Tool.

Compatible Project Workflow

You can:

• Open an existing .jvsgz project in JVSG Online
• Edit the project in a browser
• Save the updated .jvsgz file
• Open the same file in JVSG IP Video System Design Tool
• Continue detailed CCTV design in the desktop software

This makes JVSG Online a practical companion for existing JVSG users.

Your Files Stay with You

During the beta version, JVSG Online does not require cloud storage for
project files.

You can open and save project files locally. This means your project files
stay under your control, which can be important for security-sensitive
sites and professional CCTV design work.

No Cloud Required

With the local project file workflow:

• You control where project files are stored
• You can send files manually to colleagues or customers
• You can archive projects using your own file system
• You can continue working with the same files in JVSG Desktop

Free During Beta

JVSG Online is currently planned as a free beta product.

During the beta period, users will be able to test the web application,
try the browser-based CCTV planning workflow, and share feedback with the
JVSG team.

Help Shape the Future of JVSG Online

The beta version is an important step in the development of JVSG Online.
Feedback from real CCTV designers, installers, consultants, and existing
JVSG users will help us improve the product before the public release.

We are especially interested in feedback about:

• Site survey workflow
• Camera placement
• 2D editing
• 3D viewing
• DORI zone visualization
• Mobile and tablet usability
• Compatibility with JVSG desktop files
• Photos and installation comments
