Design your site security in minutes
Enter your site address and AI auto-designs full camera coverage on your property. Adjust the boundary and units, then get a coverage-backed report at the end.
Plan your site's camera coverage in a few minutes
The Site Security Designer turns a street address into a working surveillance layout: where mobile surveillance units go, what each camera sees, and how much of the site is covered.
- STEP 1
Enter your site address
The designer loads satellite imagery of the property and draws a starter boundary around it. Drag the corners to match your lot, or trace your own.
- STEP 2
See a starting layout
It places mobile surveillance units inside the boundary and shows how much of the site they cover. Move, rotate, add or remove units and the coverage updates as you go.
- STEP 3
Choose what the cameras should do
Pick the level of detail you need — detect, observe, recognize or identify — and the AI capabilities, monitoring and video storage that fit the site.
- STEP 4
Get your Site Security Design Report
Review the layout, coverage map and equipment list, then download the report as a PDF, email yourself a link to it, or request a quote from a VDS specialist.
Common questions
- What is the VDS Site Security Designer?
- A free, browser-based tool from Vision Detection Systems for planning camera coverage of an outdoor site — a construction project, a yard, a lot, a substation or a facility perimeter. You work on satellite imagery of your own property and finish with a Site Security Design Report.
- What can I place on the map?
- VDS mobile surveillance trailers, solar camera poles, lighting trailers and security booths. Each unit shows its camera fields of view and how far it can detect, observe, recognize and identify.
- Do I need an account or any software?
- No. It runs in the browser and you can design, review and share a layout without signing in. Signing in is optional and lets you save designs to come back to.
- How accurate is the layout?
- It is a planning tool. Coverage is calculated from each camera's field of view and mounting height, and units are kept clear of rooftops, but it is a starting point: a VDS specialist confirms the final design against real site conditions before deployment.
- What does the report include?
- The site address and boundary, the unit layout on satellite imagery, the coverage map, an equipment list, and the capabilities, monitoring and storage you selected. You can share it by link or export it.
