If you design CCTV for banks and weigh whether CCTV Design Tool still earns its place, this page is for you. CCTVplanner is the larger free tier, cheaper paid plan, 33 UI languages, EU-hosted integrators are switching to in 2026 — same DORI math, bigger camera catalog, modern UI, vertical-specific workflows built in.

Identify-DORI (250 px/m) at the teller window means a 4-6 MP camera with the right focal length at the right mounting height. CCTVplanner overlays the DORI ring on each camera so the Identify zone snaps to the customer-side counter — drag, verify, mount.
ATM customer face + transaction screen need parallel coverage. Two cameras at oblique angles, both Identify, both surviving 24/7 lighting changes. Datasheet-verified WDR (HDR) ratings surface in our catalog — pick the model that handles the glare.
Vault, safe deposit room, cash-handling counters carry per-zone retention requirements that vary by jurisdiction. CCTVplanner per-zone DPIA worksheet (Art. 35) flags each, surfacing the retention horizon for the compliance team.
Bank CCTV is audited. Tag each camera with mounting height, lens, recording window, retention. The PDF carries this as the audit trail — auditor signs off without separate documentation.
Drop the camera, set lens, drag the Identify ring (250 px/m) to the customer-side counter. If it does not reach, change the lens.
Filter the 100+ flagships by 0.01 lux capability, WDR ≥ 120 dB, smart codec (H.265+). ATM-grade specs surface in seconds.
Vault, safe-deposit, lobby, ATM each carry their own retention setting. The PDF deliverable shows the compliance horizon per zone.
Every camera carries mounting height, tilt, lens, IR range, IP/IK, ONVIF profile. The auditor reads the PDF and signs off; no separate doc.
Bank data does not leave the EU in CCTVplanner's default stack. The Art. 30 record-of-processing fields in the PDF speak the right language for the DPO.
US federal banking projects mandate non-Hikvision / non-Dahua. The compliance flag surfaces on every spec card; the mixed-compliance validator catches mistakes.
EN 62676 series, EN 50130-4/5, BS 8418, NDAA §889, GDPR, ISO/IEC 11801 — cited inline, validated by 5,600+ unit tests. The tender response carries the standards reference directly.
Installer plan unlocks unlimited projects — design 30 branches in one tool. White-label Business PDF lands every branch with the same brand template.
Everything below is in the product today, on the free tier, and none of it needs an install. Open it in a browser and check it against CCTV Design Tool on a job you already know.
No install and no workstation. Walk the site from any camera point of view, with DORI silhouettes standing at the Detect, Observe, Recognize and Identify distances so the customer sees what the camera sees. Sun and shadow study for the time of day that matters, and one-click 3D PDF export for the people who will never open a design tool.
Every cone is computed from the sensor, resolution and focal length at the mounting height (1 to 20 m) and tilt you set, then clipped by buildings, fences and real ground elevation on satellite imagery. On a flat indoor floor a 2D tool agrees with us. On a sloped yard or a sunken loading dock it does not, and that gap is exactly where the blind spots are.
Racking, containers, concrete blocks, scaffolding, solar panels, trees, and the machinery a live construction site actually parks in the shot: excavators, cranes, concrete mixers, bulldozers, vans and pickups. Each one carries real dimensions and a vertical range, and the field of view clips against it with the shadow drawn on the plan.
Stack ground floor, mezzanine, plant room and roof as separate levels. Draw walls, close rooms and read the floor area back in square metres. Cabling routes between levels, the topology graph carries across them, and each floor exports as its own DXF sheet and PDF page.
Predictive coverage for access points using ITU-R P.2040 wall transmission and a P.1238 margin, drawn as a heatmap over the same plan the cameras sit on. Point-to-point links are checked for line of sight against the buildings and terrain, so the wireless leg of the design fails on screen rather than on site.
51 specified cable types with PoE budget from loop resistance, DC voltage drop, fibre loss budget with splice and connector allowances, coax attenuation per format, speaker line loading and conduit fill. Route length is measured on the drawn route and carries straight into the bill of materials, the cable schedule and the customer offer.
The plan is validated while you draw it: DORI shortfall, blind spots, perimeter gaps, PoE budget and class escalation, cable length and category headroom, conduit bundling, fibre loss, thermal lens and pairing, EMC and environmental class, lightning protection zones, ONVIF profile mixing, NDAA compliance, bandwidth headroom and switch port capacity.
CAD-grade DXF (AutoCAD R2018 / AC1021) on named layers with BLOCK, INSERT, SPLINE, ELLIPSE, HATCH and DIMENSION preserved, inside an ISO 5457 sheet frame with an ISO 7200 title block. Multi-page PDF with bill of materials, cable schedule, equipment list, elevation views, coverage analysis, acceptance test protocol, maintenance schedule and the GDPR Article 35 DPIA worksheet.
Identify-DORI (250 px/m) at the teller window — face capture survives masks and partial occlusion. Use a 4-6 MP camera with motorised zoom mounted 2.5-3.5 m up at oblique angle. CCTVplanner snaps the Identify ring to the counter so you verify before mounting.
Varies by jurisdiction — typically 30-90 days for general lobby, 1-3 years for vault and high-value cash handling. CCTVplanner per-zone retention metadata in the PDF surfaces the horizon per zone so the compliance team validates without re-keying.
Yes. Every camera in our catalog carries an NDAA §889 flag. The mixed-compliance validator catches any Hikvision / Dahua / Huawei / Hytera / Dahua-OEM model in the project before it ships to a federally-funded site.
Yes. Installer plan (€4.17/mo) unlocks unlimited projects. Business plan (€8.33/mo) adds white-label PDF — your bank logo on every branch deliverable, identical brand template across all 30 sites.
The free tier covers a real small site — no card, no install. Put a plan in, place a camera, and check the first DORI ring against the numbers you already trust.
