Wow your customers with beautiful presentations of your video surveillance designs.
Now you can generate PowerPoint presentations, PDFs, Word Docs and Zip files of your Google Map Camera Calculations. This provides you with (1) satellite image overviews of the camera coverage area, (2) previews of the camera FoV and (3) image quality / PPF estimates.

Whether your project has 4 cameras or 40 or more, our new presentation functionality will create beautiful presentations for each of them. For instance, with PowerPoint each camera calculation gets its own slide and with Word you can add your own content describing the embedded calculation images for each camera.
Benefits
Here are some major benefits of using the Calculation Presentations:
-
Sales: You will impress customers with a level of quality and detail few have ever seen before.
-
Design: The images and projections will make clear the tradeoffs of resolution, AoV, PPF, etc. enabling the right choice before buying equipment and installing it and then redoing it or being unhappy.
-
Installation: Improve accuracy and reduce confusion by providing these presentations to your project managers and installation teams to use on site.
-
Speed: In minutes you can generate complex calculations and beautiful presentations that would take hours by copying Google Maps, running your own numbers, marking up your own camera, calculations, etc.
Examples
Let’s say you are designing a 12 camera system for a campus and have mapped out the cameras like so:

Now, choose from IPVM’s 4 new export options: Zip files, PDFs, Word Docs and Powerpoint Presentations, selected from the drop-down in the Calculator here:

PowerPoint
With a PowerPoint export, you immediately get a prepared presentation showing each camera, one by one, on individual slides, showing their coverage area, FoV and estimate image quality (PPF/PPM). You can quickly edit the PowerPoint we provide with your company's own details and more information.
Take a look at this PowerPoint deck:

Word Doc
With a Word doc, you can customize a formal report, centered around the images and calculations IPVM provides. Add supporting info, plans, pricing and more.
Take a look at this Word doc export:

PDF
With PDF, you can quickly export a copy that can be shared with team members to review plans and the design.

Any way to add indoor camera support?

This is getting very close to a "full" design tool. Very very cool .
Just a small idea, looking at the disclaimer at the end of the PPT : it would be interesting to include a few common slides containing the generals of image quality and what impacts it : lighting, etc.

This is a fantastic tool John. I have already used it for a few of our out of state facilities, but had to do screen shots of what I was viewing. So being able to put it together like this is the icing on the cake!

Wow! Somebody's been busy!
Great stuff. I feel a whole job-costing suite is coming...
Any plans to add the ability to add a member's company logo / watermark / image in the exports? Customized disclaimer/company info?
And possibly phantom text of "Do Not Duplicate."?
Any plans for a export into H.265 format? (Just kidding).

Can a member collaborate online at IPVM with a non-member client using the permalink functionality?

I like it a lot. I used it yesterday not realizing that this was a brand new feature. It has been a while since I needed to do some calcs. I did run into one problem with the export. The labels for the cameras were mismatched. I saved the project, went to each camera and named then saved it. After I exported, the camera locations do not match the slide. Beyond this slight glitch it will be very helpful in the future.
Thank you for continuing these tools,
Daily IPVM user.

John,
One item I tripped on when trying this out was how to rotate the cam. The 'figure' icon is not the 'standard' that indicates rotation..but I do understand why it was used. Perhaps you can blend the figure with the rotate icon?

Looks good.
To upload your own scene are you just supposed to go take a picture of the place you want to put the camera?
How do you change the picture of the "day - ideal" "night" shot?
How does that part work?

John,
I love the concept!
The limits of Google Street View gives us approximate FOV, so we need to explain to the client that this is an approximation of what the installed camera will view.
I did find 2 bugs:
1. on some camera views (2 out of 10) the AoV created was not the same as the one shown on the Word file. In the application I called for the camera’s minimum AoV, but on the Word file it came out as the camera’s maximum AoV.
2. I was not able to bring up a previously saved project and had to start over.

Nice product. It looks very good integrating all data and intuitive to use. This will help with "what if...." scenarios when I consult with the administrators at my site.
I was thrown for a loop trying to rotate the camera view angle until I was playing around and stumbled upon clicking the target "mannequin" and dragging it around. Once I figured that out, I was fine.
I haven't fully laid out my campus cameras yet, but I'll test the exports as soon as I am done.

gratis tool!
I would implement the following optional:
- high of installation with hole of view below the camera
- measure of high and not online width
