New version of CCTV Design Software VideoCAD 8 Professional was released
The main new features:
Modeling camera rotation around its" axis;
Modeling lens distortion;
Modeling panoramic (fisheye) cameras;
New 3D World window with 3D navigation tools;
3D visualization of view area faces, 3D camera coverage and pixel density distribution;
New options of import and export AutoCAD files;
More than 100 innovations total.
VideoCAD allows to:
Choose the most suitable lenses, heights and locations for camera installation to provide the required parameters of view areas for detection and identification of a person and license plate reading.
Calculate the horizontal projection of camera control areas including shadows from obstacles on the scene.
Display by separate colors and hatch styles different regions of spatial resolution and field-of-view size.
Calculate and model Depth of field.
Locate cameras and cables on the prepared layouts in *.bmp, *.jpg, *.emf, *.wmf, *.png, *.gif, *.tif, *.pdf, AutoCAD *.dwg, *.dxf formats.
Print or Export the obtained drawing into any of the following formats:*.bmp, *.jpg, *.emf, *.wmf, *.png, *.gif, *.tif, AutoCAD *.dxf, AutoCAD *.dwg, *.pdf.
Construct 3D model of real scenes with the possibility of loading prepared 3D models (a person, a car, etc., ). You can add your own 3D models from 3ds max and Google Sketchup.
Model observed scene parameters (illumination, visibility limitations).
Model luminaires and infrared LED illuminators.
Model camera parameters (spectral response, number of pixels, resolution, minimum illumination, IRE, signal/noise ratio, AGC, BLC, gamma, day/night cameras,frame rate, interlace scan, global shutter and rolling shutter).
Model lens parameters (focal length, F-stop, resolution, distortion).
Model moving objects, camera frame rate, create animated images with moving 3D models.
Model blur and distortion of moving 3D models.
Maintain database of camera models.
Create animated monitor models.
Calculate the length and electric parameters of cables.
Spare the means and win tenders due to the reduction of cameras" quantity in projects and increase of their efficiency.
Reduce time expended and boost design quality.
Cut down the amount of controversial situations with customers and accelerate their solution.
