Step 1: Using Design Center
Design Center is a powerful tool that allows you to import floor plans and map out your camera placements. This helps you visualize coverage areas and ensure you have the right number of cameras in optimal positions. We've created a dedicated video on Design Center, which you can find linked in the video description.
Step 2: Camera Capacity

Whether you're using AI Pro cameras, 4K, 2K, or HD cameras, we provide clear guidelines on what each unit can handle.
Step 3: Capacity Calculator
The capacity calculator is a valuable resource for assessing the performance of your NVR. It allows you to see how many devices and applications (such as Protect, Talk, and Access) can run simultaneously on each unit. This tool ensures that your chosen NVR can handle your current and future needs without compromising performance.
