Tools for technicians and installers
The questions that come up on site, answered with arithmetic instead of a guess. Free to use, no sign up, and built to work on a phone while you are standing in front of the job. Anyone specifying a system is welcome to them, but they are written for the person installing it. We are adding to these as we go.

Set the cameras, the resolution, the compression and how long the footage has to be kept. Returns the storage in GB and TB, and the drive size to actually buy.

These come from questions we get asked on site and over the counter. If you keep working something out on paper, tell us and we will look at turning it into a tool here.
Why we give these away
We distribute this equipment, install it, and run the training workshops for the technicians who maintain it. The same handful of questions come up every week, and the answers are arithmetic rather than trade secrets. A buyer who has worked the number out for themselves asks a better question when they call, and that is a shorter conversation for everyone.
Who they are for
Installers and technicians
Sizing a job on site, before the client asks what it will cost to run.
Businesses and homeowners
Checking a quote you have been given, or working out what to ask for.
Sub dealers
Specifying a system for your own customer with our stock behind you.
Training on the equipment itself is a separate thing, and it is run as a workshop.
A tool works from numbers. A survey works from the site.
When you want the answer for your actual building, with the entrances, the boundary and the light accounted for, we will come and look. The survey is free.
