About this app

CCTV Calculator brings together the calculations and tests you need to design, install and maintain camera systems — in one app. Pick the right lens, check what each camera will really see, size the storage and the UPS, test ONVIF devices and plan the network, before and after installation.

Ratings and reviews

Already too many adverts and only use it for 30 seconds. Big limited to 8 megapixel cameras means I cannot include fish eyes. Does not work for premacies with multiple different cameras with different resolution

Kept crashing as I was opening any menu options for the first time.

Very good tools but hope you make a version "pay" it out ads thank you.
