    1.7.6.R1

    2026-05-19

    Fixed

    • Unlock works after locking a camera — Locked cameras rejected the unlock toggle alongside every other update. Now the unlock click goes through; everything else stays blocked while locked.
    • Camera mounting accessory label translated — Mounting accessory picker fell through to Polish on every non-Polish UI. Added the field label and Select button text to all 20 locales.

    1.7.6

    2026-05-18

    Added

    • Four new design disciplines for integrated security — CCTVplanner now covers more than cameras. Dedicated workflows for Access Control Design, Intrusion Detection Design, Network Planning for Security and Security Compliance. Each discipline has a pillar page, a navigation entry and cross-linked related sections.
    • Doors and windows as first-class objects — Buildings carry doors and windows with editable dimensions and swing direction. A validator flags missing door and window contactors against your alarm zones. Doors and windows export to CSV and respect the project's metric or imperial setting.
    • IP and VLAN planning — Define a NetworkSegment per zone (subnet, gateway, DHCP range, VLAN ID). Auto-allocate IPs with a CAM-001-FRONT-style hostname convention. Map switch ports to VLANs. Run topology validators for gateway reachability, DHCP overlap, cross-VLAN routing and internet egress. Spreadsheet-style bulk editor for every device on site.
    • Network config exports for Mikrotik and Cisco — Export ready-to-paste configs for Mikrotik RouterOS and Cisco IOS, plus DHCP reservation CSV and DNS zone files. IGMP snooping recommendations and QoS DSCP markings (camera, voice, data queues) included as advisory notes.
    • Realistic per-device power draw — Cameras vary by type and IR state, NVRs by channel count, switches by port budget. Power cables have their own validator and visual style on the canvas. Per-UPS load aggregation with four checks (overload, headroom, runtime, redundancy). BOM gains a UPS coverage section showing connected load and margin per UPS.
    • NVR storage slot management — Slot-level HDD assignment per NVR with a 40-SKU catalog of surveillance-rated drives (WD Purple, Seagate SkyHawk, Toshiba S300). Per-drive workload validator compares manufacturer TBW rating against your project's bitrate and retention.
    • Three new in-designer calculators — Conduit Fill Rating (40% fill rule per NEC 376/378), Cable Loss Budget (signal attenuation over distance for PoE, coax and fiber) and VLAN/QoS Advisor (DSCP markings and queue priorities). Embedded directly in the designer alongside cameras.
    • New equipment categories: UPS, Wi-Fi APs, outdoor radios — UPS units from APC, Eaton, CyberPower, Ever and Salicru with power-tiered quick-picks and rack mountability. Wi-Fi access points from TP-Link, Ubiquiti, Cisco, Aruba and Cambium. Outdoor point-to-point radios from InfiNet, Proxim, TP-Link Pharos and RADWIN. Enterprise and industrial network switches including Pulsar. 27 new SKUs total.
    • Camera accessories per camera — Mounting brackets, junction boxes and pole adapters attach to individual cameras. Compatibility map for Dahua PFA-series, Hikvision DS-1xxZJ and the IPC-HFW / HDW / HDBW and DS-2CD2 families. BOM and quotes include picked accessories on a dedicated CSV and XLSX sheet.
    • Five new free calculators — PIR Sensor Calculator, Alarm Zones Calculator (zone planner with 5-tier panel recommendation, VERSA 5 to INTEGRA 128), Beam Barrier Calculator (Optex SL-TNR / 100Q / 200QN / 650QFR), Security System Budget Calculator (itemized estimate across Budget, Standard, Premium tiers) and PoE Cable Length Calculator (voltage drop plus bulk-roll buy plan).
    • 2 new IDS alarm keypads — IDS 860-03-697 (X-Series LCD) and IDS 860-03-0531 Curve (X-Series LCD 2x16 blue display) added to the alarm-system catalog.
    • Camera catalog grew from 24,002 to 75,005 models — Over 51,000 new SKUs across 37 brands (Hikvision, Dahua, Hanwha, Axis, Reolink, Mobotix, Avigilon, Milesight, Pelco and more).

    Changed

    • Insert menu reorganized into four submenus — Replaced the flat 16-item Insert menu with four nested submenus: Surveillance, Detection, Infrastructure, Drawing. Makes the new device categories (UPS, access control, intrusion, network) easier to find.

    Fixed

    • Designer stability fixes — Slider sync, onboarding race condition, range cap and demo CORS issues resolved. Door and window pixel conversion now scales correctly when the canvas zoom changes. Arc direction fixes when drawing FOV cones at extreme angles. Cable route waypoint handling improved with toast feedback on errors.
    • Correct cable defaults for analog systems — Analog, HD-CVI and Turbo HD systems now default to coax instead of wireless.

    1.7.5

    2026-05-15

    Added

    • Bigger equipment library — Added 906 new equipment and camera models from 64 brands. The library now totals 23,937 cameras from 79 manufacturers. New camera models include Verkada G3, Hikvision ColorVu G3, AcuSense Gen 4, TandemVu Gen 2 and 8K thermal, Dahua TiOC 3.0, WizMind LED and Smart Dual Light, Tiandy, i-PRO, IDIS, Merit Lilin, ACTi, GeoVision, FLIR, Rhombus, UniFi Protect G5/G6, Mobotix, Honeywell, Vicon, Digital Watchdog, March Networks, Annke, Lorex, Speco, Synology, Tyco Illustra, Avycon, Foscam, Bolide, IC Realtime, Sunell and Provision-ISR. New network and access-control gear: Mikrotik, TP-Link Omada and NETGEAR M4250 AV switches, Uniview, Reolink, Synology and QNAP recorders, DoorBird and BAS-IP intercoms, HID Signo and iCLASS readers, Suprema BioStation, Paxton Net2, ZKTeco, 2N, Cygnus SN-Pro fire panels and a full audit of the Eldes catalog. Every field of view was verified against the manufacturer datasheet.
    • Rack mounting — You can now mount equipment in a network rack. Pick the U position, track PoE budget and power draw inside the rack, and the rack elevation view goes straight into the DXF and PDF exports.

    Changed

    • Counts on the site always up to date — Camera and manufacturer counts shown on the home page and sub-pages refresh automatically on every publish. The hero, comparison tables, SEO descriptions and FAQ always reflect the real catalog size.

    Fixed

    • Fixes — Eldes datasheet links — Fixed 4 Eldes datasheet links (EWS4, EWS3, EWD2, EWD3) that pointed to broken pages. They now open directly on the product page. The EWD2 model is marked end-of-life — the successor is EWD3.
    • Fixes — client portal — Resolved several issues in the client portal — comment form, BOM view, signature pad and the map viewer now render and submit cleanly across browsers.

    1.7.4

    2026-05-12

    Added

    • Full ISO 4217 currency support. — All 178 active ISO 4217 codes + precious metals (XAU/XAG/XPT/XPD), SDR, fund codes (BOV/MXV/USN/UYI/UYW/VED/SVC). Account settings, price lists, quote dialog and offer editor share one canonical list.

    Improved

    • Currency pickers consolidated to one source. — cl_v1_7_4_f3_desc

    Fixed

    • Currency change relabels the symbol, never transforms amounts. — Switching account or project currency swaps the symbol on every price (BOM, quote, PDF). Numbers stay as typed — no FX conversion applied. Enter supplier prices in your local currency once.

    1.7.3

    2026-05-11

    Added

    • Scale-not-set banner in designer. — Warns when a floor plan is loaded without scale calibration. Previously range, DORI zones and cable lengths were silently computed against wrong values.
    • First camera in a project opens the 65,000-model catalog. — Quick-pick tiles: Dome, Bullet, PTZ, Panoramic.

    Improved

    • Renders country flags as SVG sprites. — Replaces regional-indicator emoji that Chrome and Edge on Windows render as plain "GB" / "PL" text.
    • Adds Czech, Dutch, Ukrainian to the dashboard language picker. — 20/20 supported languages now selectable from Account Settings.

    Fixed

    • Home page card shows "65,000 verified cameras" instead of the raw template literal. — Was rendering ${TOTAL_CAMERAS.toLocaleString('en-US')} as text.

    1.7.2

    2026-05-09

    Added

    • Dutch (NL) — 20th UI language — Full CCTVplanner interface, calculators and marketing pages are now available in Dutch. Users in the Netherlands and Flemish-speaking Belgium can design in their native language.
    • Adds /calculator/oodpcvs and a per-camera DORI/OODPCVS toggle in the designer. — Seven new px/m levels: Overview (20), Outline (40), Discern (80), Perceive (125), Characterise (250), Validate (500), Scrutinise (1500). IEC 62676-4:2025.

    Improved

    • DORI, FOV and Lens Selector calculators — expanded — Added worked examples for warehouse, parking (ANPR) and bank-teller scenarios. New common-mistake sections and standards/compliance references.
    • Testimonials — clearer timestamps — Reviews newer than 30 days now show relative time ("X days ago") instead of a bare month-year stamp. Older reviews keep the existing format.

    1.7.1

    2026-05-06

    Added

    • Camera Physics whitepaper — A new technical reference at /camera-physics covers the geometry of CCTV camera coverage end-to-end: view-frustum projection, blind-spot math, rectilinear / equidistant / equisolid lens projections, and DORI distances per EN 62676-4. Diagrams are generated by the same code that drives the live designer, so the math you read on the page is the math your project uses. Available in 20 languages.
    • Blank map background — Map-layer toggle gains a fourth option, None — hides satellite tiles for a clean grey background. Useful when working from a floor plan or comparing FOV cones without imagery distractions.
    • Per-camera FOV fill opacity — New slider in the camera settings panel lets you set FOV cone transparency from 0 to 100 % independently per camera. Make one camera stand out by raising opacity, or fade unimportant ones for cleaner site overviews.

    Improved

    • PDF export: full label visibility — DORI tier labels, mounting + tilt annotation, IR range and corridor / PTZ badges now render in the printed PDF regardless of the preview's map zoom level. Camera number badges respect each camera's icon-size setting (tiny / small / normal / large / huge) instead of a fixed dot, so dense layouts and hero shots both export cleanly.

    Fixed

    • Fixed known bugs — Resolved a batch of FOV-rendering edge cases around buildings, fences and extreme map-zoom levels.

    1.7.0

    2026-05-05

    Added

    • Motorized zoom slider for varifocal cameras — Cameras with a variable focal length (e.g. 2.7–13.5 mm) now display an interactive slider in the optics tab, with the lens's min and max focal lengths at the ends and the live focal value highlighted in the middle. Moving the slider updates HFOV in real time using HFOV = 2·atan(W/2f), with detection range scaling linearly with focal length — matching real-world behavior in the field. EN 62676-4 compliant.

    Changed

    • Resolution filter: megapixel buckets — The camera-selection dialog now groups resolutions into five megapixel ranges: ≤ 2 MP, 4 MP (2K), 5–6 MP, 8 MP (4K), and 12 MP+. Faster to scan and easier to compare across manufacturers than browsing exact pixel counts.
    • New filter: variable focal length (yes / no) — Added a yes/no filter in the camera-selection dialog to narrow results to varifocal (motorized zoom) or fixed-focus models.

    Improved

    • Smarter camera search — punctuation tolerant — All three search boxes in the camera-selection dialog now ignore hyphens, underscores, slashes, and spaces, in addition to case. Typing "Zn-8", "zn8", or "ZN 8" all match the same model — fewer dead-end searches when you're guessing the exact format of a model code.
    • Extended sensor aspect ratio support — Calculations for vertical FOV, blind-spot distance, and corridor mode now natively support 4:3, 5:4, and 1:1 sensors in addition to 16:9, using proper tan-based aspect conversion for maximum geometric precision. Designer view, PDF, and DXF exports share a unified calculation engine, ensuring consistent results across all output formats.

    1.6.7.R3

    2026-04-30

    Added

    • New "Huge" icon size (1.75×) — Added between Large and panoramic for hero shots and presentations where Large feels too small. Available for both cameras and equipment.
    • 3D mounting annotation on the canvas — When mounting height or tilt angle is set, a small "h:4m ↘30°" label appears next to the camera body. 2D top-down can't draw pitch, so this surfaces the values without opening the panel.
    • Custom-spec cameras: HFOV auto-recomputes from focal + sensor — Editing focal length (e.g. 2.8 → 12 mm) or sensor size now updates HFOV automatically. No more remembering 2 × atan(w/2f) — the cone follows the lens.

    Changed

    • Camera number and DORI labels are now legible at default zoom — The camera number badge is ~60% larger and scales with the camera icon size. DORI zone labels (D/O/R/I + distance) bumped from 6 px minimum to 10 px and respect the text-size preference.
    • Corridor mode now rotates the FOV cone visually — When corridor mode is enabled the optical and thermal cones narrow to 9:16 to match the rotated sensor, instead of only changing DORI math. A small ↻ badge appears next to the camera body so rotated cameras are obvious at a glance.

    1.6.7.R2

    2026-04-30

    Fixed

    • Equipment label scales with icon size — When the equipment icon is set to Tiny, the label below it now shrinks proportionally instead of staying full-size.
    • Corrected IR range on Uniview IPC312LP-ADF20KC-DL — Effective range and IR distance updated from 10 m to 30 m to match the manufacturer datasheet.

    1.6.7

    2026-04-30

    Added

    • 65,000+ camera models in the database — The library passed the 23,000-model mark across 80+ manufacturers, with verified field-of-view data on every entry.
    • New brands and product lines — Added BCS Line/Point/Basic/View/Ultra/Flex full catalog, Longse, IVSEC, Genie CCTV, Vstarcam, Bolide, Empire Tech, Foscam, Wyze, Eufy, Synology, Eagle Eye Networks and more.
    • Dahua HD-CVI analog camera support — Added 340 Dahua HAC- analog cameras with HFOV, IR, IP rating and signal-type metadata — plan HD-CVI/HD-TVI/AHD systems alongside IP.

    Changed

    • Catalog refresh across major brands — Tiandy, Imou, Ezviz, Mobotix, Amcrest, Swann, GeoVision, InVid, Avycon and others rebuilt from upstream catalogs — newer SKUs and corrected lens data.

    1.6.6

    2026-04-29

    Added

    • PIN-protected portal links — Optional 4-8 digit PIN on top of the URL token. Defense-in-depth if the link is forwarded — the client must enter the PIN before any project data is revealed.
    • Solar panel tilt support — Tilted panels now block FOV correctly based on the real elevated geometry — cameras between the lower and upper edge see partially through, tall cameras see over.
    • Solar array bulk-add — Generate a grid of dozens to thousands of panels in one dialog — rows, columns, spacing, orientation and tilt. Designed for PV-farm monitoring projects.
    • Pricing now shows "Billed in your local currency" under each plan.

    Changed

    • PNG and PDF exports follow the selected map layer — Exports now use Google Satellite or Hybrid when chosen in the designer, instead of always falling back to ESRI imagery.
    • Obstacle and solar dialogs honor imperial/metric preference (m or ft).

    Fixed

    • Obstacles visible in exports — Trees, vehicles and panels now render in PNG and PDF exports and properly clip camera FOV cones.
    • Stray English labels in a few dialogs now translate to all supported languages.

    1.6.5.R2

    2026-04-28

    Added

    • Ukrainian language — Full Ukrainian translation of the planner UI, dashboard, dialogs and CAD/PDF export labels. Pick UA in the language switcher.
    • Czech language — Full Czech translation of the planner UI, dashboard, dialogs and CAD/PDF export labels. Pick CS in the language switcher.

    Fixed

    • Multi-floor: drawing on a duplicated floor now works — Duplicating a floor and then trying to add cameras, fences or buildings could silently route the new entity to the source floor. Drawing now lands on the duplicated floor as expected.

    1.6.5

    2026-04-28

    Added

    • Realistic tree FOV blocking — Cameras now look UNDER tree canopies — only the trunk blocks for low-mounted cameras. Tall cameras cast a finite shadow strip past the tree, just like in the field.
    • Adjustable canopy clearance and trunk diameter — Tune ground clearance and trunk thickness on each tree to match your site exactly.

    Changed

    • Cleaner FOV cone — Removed redundant distance gridlines inside the cone — DORI bands and the scale bar carry the same information without the visual noise.
    • Sharper, more consistent UI — Sharp borders and editorial typography across panels and dialogs.

    Fixed

    • Tree obstacle now follows its real circular footprint instead of a square bounding box.
    • Clicks near a selected element no longer accidentally drop the selection.

    1.6.4

    2026-04-27

    Added

    • DXF/DWG drawing import — Bring CAD floor plans straight into the designer — full coverage of common entities.
    • Roads layer toggle — Hide street lines on the map for cleaner site exports.
    • Project duplicate — One-click copy of a complete design including all cameras, fences and devices.
    • Multi-floor cable auto-routing — Closet, NVR and access-point discovery with daisy-chain routing across floors.

    Changed

    • Imperial / Metric unit switch — Toggle between meters and feet across the entire UI.
    • Layer and risk labels translated across all supported languages.

    Fixed

    • FOV rendering on rotated cameras.
    • Service-worker cache invalidation after deploy.

    1.6.3

    2026-04-27

    Added

    • Offline-aware UX — Designer keeps working without an internet connection.

    Changed

    • Instant second visit — Service-worker cache makes returning to the app feel instant.

    1.6.2

    2026-04-27

    Changed

    • Faster initial load — Smaller bundles and smarter preloads cut the time to the first usable screen.
    • Largest Contentful Paint cut by more than half.
