IP Video System Design Tool is a Windows-based software application that enables security professionals to plan, simulate, and document video surveillance systems. It supports 2D and 3D modeling of camera placement, calculates field of view, lens focal length, pixel density, and visualizes DORI (Detection, Observation, Recognition, Identification) zones according to international standards. The tool streamlines the process of designing CCTV and IP camera systems, helping users optimize camera locations, estimate storage and bandwidth requirements, and create professional reports for proposals and installations. It is widely used by system integrators, consultants, and security engineers for projects of all sizes.
