If you are going to install a video surveillance system, you should pay attention to VideoCad, an application developed by CCTVCAD Company. Developers created this well-thought program to help users in planning video surveillance systems. This program has a user-friendly interface, that’s why even a beginner will be able to work with this it. This program allows users to perform all the modeling, measuring and other operations required for installation of video surveillance systems. Using this application you won’t spend much time on estimating lens focal length and the right location of video cameras to get the necessary image on the screen. This program can be very useful, because it helps to define the best position of the camera to provide the desired image on the screen. Even a slight miscalculation can bring to inadequate results, that’s why it is so important to use such programs as VideoCad. This computer aided design program can save your time and efforts in planning video surveillance systems.
v8.1 [Jun 9, 2015]
The following parameters have been separated:
- image sensor size and size of active area of the image sensor;
- aspect ratio of image sensor and aspect ratio of output image of the camera.
The Image sensor format box has been renamed to the Image sensor size.
- New abilities to specify the size of image sensor through arbitrary sensor format (type) in inches or through the length of diagonal in millimeters, or through width and height in millimeters.
- New ability to set aspect ratio of image sensor separately from the aspect ratio of output image for a given format in inches or length of diagonal of the image sensor.
- New ability to set the Crop factor to model image sensors with active area does not touch the edges of the image sensor.
- Detailed guide of specifying the active area size of the image sensor of modern cameras has been added.
The Sensor and Distortion box has been renamed to Sensor and Lens. Its interface has been changed.
- The Image sensor calculator was added.
- Switching 3D models from the selected state to the editing state by double clicking on its projections was added (previously it was possible to switch a 3D model to the editing state only from the normal state).
- In the editing state, 3D models are displayed with square grips and pink circle. You can rotate the 3D model by the mouse using the circle, scale 3D model on X and Y axis using the square grips. You can move the 3D model by pressing the left mouse button on the 3D model, as well as in the selected state.
- In the 3D World and 3D Video views of 3D models in editing state and in the selected state differ.
New possibility to rotate around its axis in editing state Rectangle, Wall, Aperture in wall, Stairs, Mask, Filling, 3D Image.
- Import and export modules of AutoCAD were upgraded. Some improvements were added.
- Fixed an inaccuracy of snap operation during construction of walls and aperture in wall.
- New tool Merge contour.
- Printing on some virtual PDF printers has been improved.
- Upgrade from VideoCAD 8.0 is offered free-of-charge.
