About VideoCAD  


VideoCAD is a multifunctional tool for professional video surveillance system design, modeling and measuring parameters of video image and video equipment.

VideoCAD allows even the beginners to use the new opportunities appearing to be hard to obtain without it due to the complexity of calculations and therefore not being used even by the skilled engineers of CCTV.

VideoCAD practically boosts the quality of CCTV design to a new level which appears to be beyond any competition with those lacking the program.

We have all struggled at times when designing a CCTV system, trying to find the right lens for the right image, camera position, distances, etc. This time is now over, thanks to some smart programmers from Russia who have made the CCTV system design job easier, more accurate and more professional with their very clever drafting software called VideoCAD. We highly recommend it!

This package is step in the right direction for security system designers and installers.
We have played with the software and recommend reading the help documents before starting, the user-interface is relatively easy to master and after an hour or so we were designing a CCTV system.
The cost for a one user licence is very good and CCTVCAD are continually looking to improve this package. We recommend trying the demo and if it works for you then buy a license.

The design of a surveillance system (or CCTV system) in the real-life circumstances is a hard task. If you haven’t used some pre-real placement design tools (even paper is used sometimes!), this process would look like «place another camera, then connect it to monitor, then test it by asking employees go back and forth, drive different types of cars and test whether the persons and cars can be identified». Typically, such «real-world testing» is too hard to even try, so normally people use the «design by guessing». But using professional CCTV design software, like VideoCAD, is much better. Much better!
