Tool

IP Video System Design Tool our CCTV design software product has been tested on a Mac OS X with Parallels Desktop 14.

IP Camera tool is a utility that allows you to view the IP address of a Foscam camera on your network. For Mac: Click here to download. Last updated on September.

Parallels Desktop for Mac generates a virtual machine platform which allows Windows based programs to run on Mac in a smooth manner, and it has more than 7 million satisfied users globally. https://www.parallels.com

Configuration 1:

  • Mac OS X Mojave
  • Parallels Desktop 14
  • 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics card: AMD R9 M370X
  • Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
  • IP Video System Design Tool versions 9.2, 9.1, 8.1

Configuration 2:

  • Macbook Air, 1.7 GHz Intel Core i5, 4 GB Ram, integrated graphic card: Intel HD3000
  • Mac OS X Mavericks 10.9.3
  • Parallels Desktop9 (in normal and “Coherence” modes)
  • Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 bit, English
  • IP Video System Design Tool versions: 8.1, 8.0, 7.2, 7.1, 7.0, 6.4

Coherence is a Parallels Desktop visual mode of working with a virtual machine that allows Windows applications to run side by side with Mac OS X programs.

After installing the Parallels for Mac, a virtual machine has to be created using Windows 7 DVD or ISO installation image.

The IP Video System Design Tool installer can be run after the step above.

Version 9 was tested with Parallels and some of the functions have been described under various headings below:

Graphics: The 2D/3D graphical performance was found to be excellent.

Zoom: To zoom the site plan you can use standard MacOS zoom gesture, still it is recommended to use the scroll-wheel mouse instead.

Scroll: In order to scroll the site plan you can use Alt-drag or Alt-arrows.

Copy/Paste: For copying and pasting objects on the site plan, in addition to Windows hotkeys Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V respectively, you can use Mac OS standard hotkeys: Cmd-C & Cmd-V.

Visual effects (version 9): We recommend to use Parallels Desktop 14. On some configurations, with older Parallels Desktop versions you can get empty 3D View window when you switch on visual effects like Fog, Black/White camera or Night Mode. In this case please try to update your graphics card drivers and your Parallels Desktop version.

Bootcamp

Apart from Parallels Desktop you can run JVSG IP Video System Design Tool on Mac via Boot Camp, part of Mac OS X that enables you to install and run Windows-based applications using a separate disk partition.

Important Note: Using BootCamp on Macs with Intel HD Graphics: Intel OpenGL drivers are quite slow (up to 5 times slower than OpenGL drivers used by Parallels Desktop on MacOS). Please download and install the latest Intel graphics card drivers from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/

Running JVSG software on other virtual machines

Apart from running The IP Video System Design Tool version on Parallels Desktop, as described above, you can also try to run it on VMWare Fusion and Virtual Box, though you need to take care of some aspects described below.

If you use Virtual Box (version 4) you need to switch off 3D Acceleration and 2D Acceleration in Display Properties.

If you run IP Video System Design Tool version 6.4 with VMWare Fusion 4 or Virtual Box you may notice a large black area in “3D View” Window. In order to fix the 3D View window please change camera “Aspect Ratio” parameter to 16:9 and then change it back to 4:3.

Cctv Design Tool Mac

Our users reported that they were able to run the version 8.1 (7.2) of the program on VMware Fusion Version 7.1.0 (Mac emulating Windows 7).

Settings: 2Gb RAM, 2 Processor cores, “Accelerate 3D Graphics” option is turned ON with 2048Mb or shared graphics memory.

Version 9, 8, and 7 may be not compatible with Virtual Box or VMWare software. It is advised to use Parallels Desktop for Mac instead.

This software offers a new way to design modern video surveillance systems quickly and easily.

Version 11 for Windows 10, 8, 7 is available [What's new? | Upgrade | Download | 360 MB | Mac OS users].

With the IP Video System Design Tool you can:

  • Increase efficiency of security systems while lowering costs and finding the best camera locations.
  • Calculate precise camera lens focal length , viewing angles and pixel density (PPM/PPF) in seconds.
  • Check identification, recognition, observation, detection and monitoring zones of each camera on a site plan.
  • Minimize dead zones to increase the security level of premises using 2D and 3D modeling.
  • Get estimations of required network bandwidth and calculate the required HDD storage space for video archives.
  • Load site plan or floor plan from JPEG, PNG, PDF, or TIFF file and import AutoCAD DWG drawings (Pro)
  • Print or export your project to PDF. Copy your calculations, drawings and 3D mockups to MS Word, Excel, Visio or other software to create a high-quality project visualization.


With the IP Video System Design Tool you can calculate both network bandwidth and storage space for 30 camera resolutions and several compression methods, including H.264, H.265, Motion JPEG and MPEG-4. IP Video System Design Tool enables the system designer to find optimal FPS and compression that tailors to LAN capabilities and automatically calculates required HDD storage space.

This software helps planning security camera placement. IP Video System Design Tool includes CCTV storage and bandwidth calculators, a field of view calculator, lens focal length and pixel density calculator and many other CCTV tools, so users can design a video surveillance system quickly, easily and professionally.

    What people say about this software?

    -”If you Google “lens calculator”, a number will come up for you to use or you can choose the IP Video System Design Tool, a small undiscovered gem.

    Pages 234, 235, “Digital Video Surveillance & Security” book, Second Edition, ISBN-10: 0124200427 by Anthony C. Caputo, 2014

    - “JVSG’s IP Video System Design Tool is a must have for any system designer. There is no need for guesswork anymore. Using this excellent feature-rich software, you can design a detailed and accurate system from the comfort of your office. No more blind spots or miscalculated lens sizes. It truly is a must have!‘

    Stephen Cronshaw , Field Technical Services Engineer
    ADI Global Distribution

    - “I have been using the JVSG IP CCTV designing software since 2010. Buying this software has been the best business investment! The software is not complicated to use and is very user-friendly. Besides the calculators, the 3D picture is my favorite software feature. I believe the JVSG IP CCTV software is the best design tool on the market and I highly recommend this product to video system designers.”

    Dario Dzinic , CAS, CFC, CCI
    Senior Security Consultant, IRISS Security Solutions

    - “I started to design video surveillance systems relatively recently. Shortly after, I realized that I needed something to better evaluate the planned design. Vendors and the web give plenty of tools, but I was surprised no one could show you what you would really get on the operator screen and an estimation of the effectiveness of the camera placement. JVSG’s IP Design Tool does all these things in a very intuitive way.

    Marco Desiati , Network Infrastructure Consultant,
    Anixter, Italy

    - “I love IP Video System Design Tool. It allows me to provide a sophisticated CCTV camera layout to prospective customers for many applications such as Video Analytics, General Surveillance, LPR and more. The fact that I can calculate pixels per foot, the object percentage of FOV, height, angle, object distance and other parameters is amazing.”

    Greg Skarvelis , Director of Sales Enablement
    Verint Video Intelligence Systems, www.verint.com, US


    - “Anyone seriously working in the CCTV business should use JVSG IP Video or CCTV design tools. It is great to visualize the effects of different camera positions and the use of different lenses. It shows even in 3D!! By using this software, it is very easy to show the installer or end-users what the end-result will be per camera.”
