AUSTIN, Texas, Sept. 23, 2025 – This week, System Surveyor launched Camera Advisor™, a feature available on System Surveyor’s web-based site survey and collaborative system design platform that helps users select the right video surveillance camera for each deployment. By identifying the specific resolution requirements needed for specific video analytics, license plate recognition (LPR), people counting, object recognition and other AI-based applications, Camera Advisor simplifies the system design process by identifying the ideal camera for each unique application.
Based on the trusted industry standards of DORI (Detection, Observation, Recognition, Inspection), Camera Advisor streamlines complex technical decisions. Using the industry’s only two-way recommendation capability, Camera Advisor allows users to choose a camera and then view its resolution or select a desired resolution, then choose from a set of recommended cameras. With this ability to visualize a camera’s area of coverage (AoC), image quality (i.e. pixels per foot) and resolution at various distances, Camera Advisor ensures users select the right camera for each unique deployment area, streamlining the system design process and preventing human error.
“Our mission at System Surveyor has always been to simplify the system design process through powerful, intuitive and collaborative tools,” said Christopher Hugman, CEO of System Surveyor. “With the launch of Camera Advisor, we’re taking a major step forward in helping security professionals make smarter, faster decisions when selecting surveillance cameras. We want to empower our users to design systems with greater accuracy, efficiency and confidence.”
For system integrators, Camera Advisor helps set customer expectations for image quality. For end users, Camera Advisor gives security professionals the confidence to select the right camera for their application.
Key Features:
- Identify the ideal cameras for AI, video analytics, LPR, people counting, object recognition and more
- Leverage DORI standards for real-time visualization, measuring Pixels Per Foot, Angle and Distance
- Narrow the preferred surveillance cameras to automate a bill of materials
- No need to switch between different tools or reference sheets
