What do you like best about IP Video System Design Tool?

Normally the designs we put together are for our higher end clientelle, and they are blown away by the detail that the tool can go into ranging from the general coverage of cameras to the FOV and different recogntion zones for analytics/identification. We were fortunate enough to use JVSG as our first design tool and haven't looked elsewhere since starting to use it a few years ago. Our custoemrs also appreciate the other assets that are available from the software, like teh ability to add vehicles and people into the scene to try replicate what they would see through the cameras view.

What do you like best about IP Video System Design Tool?

This system is fairly easy to use and does have tons of camera stats pre-loaded - no need to try and build each one - the views and resolutions it shows helps me and my customers verify we have the right camera to provide the views that they wand and expect to see in the final project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IP Video System Design Tool?

The system does take some time to set up each project - it is a CAD program after all, but it is fairly simple to get down and detailed with each project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering IP Video System Design Tool:

Give yourself some time to really get into this system - the tool is great and I feel a lot of people use this tool not only to set up projects but for bandwidth and recorder requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IP Video System Design Tool solving and how is that benefiting you?

Using this system, I can show a customer what they can expect to see with a particular camera - it shows blind spots, camera resolution - gives the customer a realistic expectation of what each camera view will see before installation.

I provide the package to my installer, which gives them a drawing of the camera layout, mounting height, and exactly the view that we are expecting to get from that camera. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IP Video System Design Tool?

The general ease of use and functionality of the software is the parts that I like best. The software is constantly improving with regular updates. There are a range of features that are useful for a wide range of eventualities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IP Video System Design Tool?

Since the last few updates, there is nothing really that I dislike. I used to get a few crashes and error messages, but they seem to have been rectified in the various updates. The only item that I could do with is an option for a tilted wall (adding side walls to stairs, etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IP Video System Design Tool solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem solving that the IP video system design tool helps with is visualisation of what the end-user will be achieved once the system is installed. This allows for all parties to be in agreement before the works start on site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about IP Video System Design Tool?

It's easy to place and move cameras, and the simulated views are extremely accurate when viewed against the real world after the install. There is quite a good selection of items and building elements to choose from. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IP Video System Design Tool?

It can be a little buggy, with some odd crashes, although these are now much less common than they were - you can tell a lot of work has been done to overcome this. My personal bugbear is the way it ignores common drawing practices - eg scroll wheel / shift scroll to move sideways, ctrl scroll to zoom etc - the scroll wheel just zooms that's all, and you have to chose another to move. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IP Video System Design Tool solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use the software to design all our projects; it's an essential tool to our business. We use it to produce proposal documents for all our quotes. We take the pdf export from JVSG and edit it significantly then incorporate it into our proposals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use IP Video System Design Tool on almost all our proposals and bids. It puts us way ahead of the competition by demonstrating the professionalism and dedication of our team. A few of our favorites is the ability to share 3D renderings, pixel density, and coverage maps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about IP Video System Design Tool?

Not so much a dislike, but it would be great to have a more extensive library of 3D native models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is IP Video System Design Tool solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a security integrator, one of the challenges we face is choosing the right camera for the application. IP Video System Design Tool solves this problem by demonstrating to the customer what the camera will see at a specific distance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
