Plan your CCTV before you buy it.
Lay out your space, place cameras and see what they cover, blind spots included. You get a camera count, the recorder you need and how much storage to buy.
Drag cameras to move them and drag the small handle to turn them. With a keyboard, select a camera and use the arrow keys to move, R to turn and Delete to remove.

Planning tips
What a good CCTV layout gets right.
- 01
Cover every way in
Entrances, back doors and loading bays first. A face at the door is worth more than a wide view of the room.
- 02
Watch the money and the stock
Cash counters, server racks and storerooms each deserve a camera of their own.
- 03
Mount high, aim across
Corners give the widest view. Avoid pointing cameras straight at windows or bright doorways.
- 04
Keep enough days
Many problems are noticed days later. Fifteen to thirty days of recording is a sensible minimum for most offices.
