Overview
The CCTV Tool turns video surveillance planning into a native Revit workflow. Place cameras from a parametric library and instantly visualize each device's field of view as a 2D coverage region or 3D cone that respects walls, ceilings, and obstructions from the model. Coverage heatmaps expose blind spots and overlapping zones, so camera count and placement can be optimized before anything is installed. The tool tracks mounting heights, lens types, and resolution targets per camera, and generates device schedules, coverage diagrams, and cable-route references automatically. Because everything stays inside the model, security designs remain coordinated with architectural and electrical disciplines, and documentation updates the moment the layout changes.
