Plan with a little more confidence.
Short guides, clear assumptions, useful next steps.
Plan a doorbell camera layout
Start with the entrance and the direction people approach it. A wide view is useful, but a coverage cone is not a guarantee that faces or parcels will be identifiable.
Plan driveway and garage cameras
Start with the outcome you need: seeing activity, recognizing a vehicle or identifying a person. A wider view and more pixels do not automatically solve every task.
2.8mm vs 4mm camera lenses
On the same sensor, a shorter focal length generally gives a wider view. A longer focal length generally shows a narrower area. Sensor dimensions and lens distortion also matter.
Plan a Blue Iris camera network
Document cameras, the network switch and the Blue Iris PC in one layout before installation. CCTV Mapper plans the arrangement; it does not configure or connect to Blue Iris.
Export a camera installation plan
A useful handoff includes a map, device names, connection estimates and the decisions an installer needs to verify.
