Site Survey
Import a floor plan, drag & drop icons & snap photos.
Import a floor plan using a PDF, JPG or PNG file or a satellite image from Google Maps for outdoor locations. Crop the floor plan and set the scale with the touch of a button on your tablet or mobile phone and you’re ready to begin the site survey, capturing all the security requirements and designing the physical security system in real time. No floor plan, no problem – just capture a photo of a fire escape plan, set the scale and design in seconds.
Benefits:
- Easily import or create a digital floor plan or map.
- Drag & drop pre-available icons for low-voltage physical security, CCTV, access control, intrusion, IT, building automation and more.
- Access Your Favorite Manufacturers Catalog for intelligent design and automate a bill of materials.
- Capture & associate photos to the icon and the location rather than trying to match them from your cell phone later.
- Set up maintenance and inspection details and intervals.
Collaboration
Collaborate on system design with your team and customers.
Engage everyone in one place from anywhere in the world. Eliminate back-and-forth emails using PDFs and handwritten notes. Securely invite customers, sales, operations, technicians and security device manufacturers to comment on and make changes to the security system design. Assign role descriptions and automatically alert the group when a team member has finished making edits.
Benefits:
- Improve accuracy and reduce costly mistakes using one digital system of record.
- Accelerate design with the experts from your team and manufacturer partners.
- Invite others directly into the design with full editing or read-only.
- Engage subcontractors more effectively for install and implementation.
System Design
Design in all the facets of the security system. It’s not just cameras!
According to Collins Dictionary: The definition of a system is an interconnected set of elements that is organized coherently in a way that achieves something. If you design a video surveillance system, you need accessories, cabling, NVRs, power and maybe even lighting.
Benefits:
- Access all the System Type Icons you need and cabling in one place.
- Use the Smart Attributes to see what details to fill out about each icon.
- Create your own or import pre-configured Element Profiles from your favorite security equipment manufacturers.
- Drag & drop design to automate a Bill of Materials including accessories.
- Brand and export professional prepackaged Security System Designs and Reports for proposals or documentation.
Reporting
Professional reports, documentation and a dynamic digital as-built.
Once you’ve completed the site survey, create a detailed digital as-built to share with your customer, team, subcontractors, and other stakeholders. Securely hosted in the cloud, digital as-built includes all the project details of your physical security system design, including security devices, product specifications, costs, layout, contacts involved, and more.
Benefits:
- Better than a static report, get a dynamic digital as-built or system of record.
- Brand and export professional floor plan designs with a legend for proposals.
- Export in Excel for key maintenance dates, inspections or a BOM ready for an ERP system.
- Build high value documentation for your customers and invite them to the reports.
