The project design can be tricky many moving parts and client demands that keep changing mean it sometimes feels like the project setup part is more difficult than the implementation. To help with the process, Axis launched AXIS Site Designer.
With this tool, one can manage system design, project estimates and installation. Users can accurately specify any Axis devices and accessories. Storage and bandwidth estimates make it easy to select and include VMS (Video Management System) products from Axis and Axis partners.
To further improve accuracy, simplicity and efficiency in designing surveillance systems, Axis has launched an updated version of AXIS Site Designer.
Faster from draft to done
Designed to improve the whole design and implementation experience, with AXIS Site Designer, all planning can be managed from one tool – whether it is a small single-site installation or a multi-location system rollout. Intuitive interface allows for devices and accessories to be easily identified and matched to the end-users requirements
The intuitive interface allows for devices and accessories to be easily identified and matched to the end-users requirements. Notes can be added to the chosen components and shared directly with installers to avoid any issues during setup.
Once the solution has been designed, quotes can be created for the client, either directly from within AXIS Site Designer, or, using the handy export feature, through other quoting software. Further, if there is any tweaking that needs to be done, the revisions can be made in Site Designer and the quote associated with that project can be quickly updated with the new design’s costs. All this saves time and makes accommodating change requests a breeze.
Updated feature
A new, exciting feature of the updated Site Designer is maps. The maps feature saves time and costs, making the system planning even more efficient by:
- Allowing for a floorplan or map of the target site to be imported into the tool, for an easier way to plan and view camera and device placement and coverage.
- Showing the client, the complete surveillance system in an intuitive map view, to avoid (or rectify) any misunderstandings before the final project is signed off.
- Including design, device selection, quotations, installation and set-up in one tool.
Using AXIS Site Designer makes it extremely fast and easy to create and change design recommendations. The result is an exponential increase – not only the potential to design and sell but in time and money saved from delivery to installation and setup.
