User Comments from CCTV System Designers, Installers and Managers

- “I love a great piece of software and that’s what IP Video Design Tool is!
It delivers all that I need to know to produce an accurate model of the network and hardware resources required to deliver an IP based system to meet a clients needs. It allows me to fine tune the system parameters to meet a customers budget. Adjusting quality, CODEC’s, recording rates and duration to give a trade off, accurately stated, so this can be given to the client for his sign off and I can close the deal.”

Tom Kershaw, Major Account Manager - CCTV, SANYO Europe

- “Because we develop video analytics tools we have to understand the relationship between the object we’re trying to detect and track, and its surroundings. What I needed was a quick and easy way to visualize the dead zones (”I can’t even see the object”), the relative size of the object (at its furthest) to the field of view (”I can’t track the object because it’s too small”) and the relative size of the object (at its nearest) to the field of view (”I can’t even start to track the object because it moved to fast”). The IP Video System Design Tool gives me the data to answer these vital questions. Without the answers, I will end up designing a system that may not be fit for purpose”

Dr Bob Banerjee, Product Marketing Manager, IP Video, Bosch Security Systems, www.boschsecurity.com, US

- “I started to design video surveillance systems relatively recently. Shortly I realized that I needed something to better evaluate the planned design. Vendors and the web give plenty of tools (focal lengths, field of view, lens calculation, resolution comparisons, network and storage load), but I was surprised no one can show you what you will really get on the operator screen and an estimation of the effectiveness of the camera placement. JVSG IP Design Tool does all this things in a very intuitive way.”

Marco Desiati, Network Infrastructure Consultant, Anixter, Italy

- “I purchased the IP Video Design tool and like it very much. Our business is to configure and install these type of systems. I really like the focal length feature to determine what 3rd party lens will be needed”.

M. Frost, RemotePatrol, www.remotepatrol.tv, US

- “I like this software. It’s brilliant for CCTV Engineers”.

Hassan Raza, Project Manager, KDC Jedah, Korea

- “I like the idea of being able to add walls and structures. We use this software to assess which lenses will return the best field of view for a given project. Most projects come to us on drawings so we need a graphical representation of the FOV”

Project Manager, Wilson Security, AU

- “Since the first time I have used IP Video System Design Tool then I have immediately understood the potentialities of this software. Practically - using one tool only - it is possible to shape an over-IP CCTV system, starting from the calculation of the lenses up to the calculation of the cameras bandwidth and the space of video storage on disk. I believe that IP Video System Design Tool is really a powerful software whose use is essential for all those technicians that daily work in CCTV field.”

Franco Talamonti, Business Development Manager, Sintel Italia SpA, Italy

- “I use your software to decide the right number of cameras and the right type of lenses only using a plan of the premises”

Plamen Pountchev, System Engineer, CISCO

- “Anyone seriously working in the CCTV bussiness should use JVSG IP Video or CCTV design tools. It is great to visualize the effects of different camera-positions and the use of different lenses. It shows even in 3D!!

By using this software it is very easy to show the installer (like we do as a CCTV wholesaler) or end-users (like a CCTV consultant will do) what the end-result will be per camera.”

Norman Graafsma, CCTV system designer at FR Security BV, the Netherlands

- “I find this software solution to be an invaluable tool in designing a CCTV system and presenting results in a PDF format to prospective customers. The simplicity of design and use enhances my ability to inform and educate. It has already been the deciding factor in a number of my contracts.”

Glenn McKenna, SecureTech Digital Video Systems, Canada
