What B-PLAN does

One flow, from the floor plan to the job site. No loose spreadsheets, no guesswork.

New

Buildings, walls and perimeter

Draw the building, the interior walls and the project boundary point by point on the plan. Each camera cone is now clipped by what stands in front of it — it no longer passes through walls, and never leaves the perimeter. The project summary also groups cameras by building.

Coverage on the real floor plan

Draw the target zone in Konva; width and distance come from the geometry, not hand-typed numbers.

Per-position camera requirement

For each position: minimum resolution, minimum HFOV, and the DORI/OODPCVS level it meets — in both standards side by side.

Forensic rule and split rule

Evidence forces Validate (500 px/m) in the 2025 standard. Above 4000 px it proposes two positions, never a camera that does not exist.

Camera elevation view

Mounting height, target height, vertical tilt and ground slope, with a side view of the camera that follows what you draw on the plan.

Cabling and infrastructure

Routes on the plan, cable type and pathway; length = route × quantity; infrastructure counts once.

PoE budget

Draw per camera, sum per switch, recommended headroom, and automatic switch upgrade when connected ports exceed capacity.

Storage and bandwidth

TB per period given resolution, fps, codec, retention and recording mode.

Network diagram

Generates the logical schematic from the real connections, with equipment icons.

Coverage simulation

Try alternative positions on the same plan and compare the coverage achieved, to reach the camera count that meets the requirement.

Technical services and job costs

Hours and costs per line — cabling, installation, configuration, training — with quantities taken from the drawing. Hourly cost per resource and fixed or per-kilometre travel.

Planning and Gantt chart

Tasks, durations and resources from the estimated services, shown as a Gantt chart and exported with the technical dossier.

Vendor-neutral specification

Exports a requirements envelope any supplier can answer — not a list of models.
