The conversation turns to the task
When your client sees on screen what a wide-angle lens leaves of a face at the gate, the discussion about your quote is a different one. You no longer have to defend your design; he can see it.
For installers & planners
Your tool. With your logo.
You design a sound system with the right optics. A competitor offers a cheap wide-angle kit, both quotes say “8 megapixels”, and the client sees nothing but the difference in price. With cctvfinder you show him the difference on screen, on your website and under your name.
What it gives you.
Enquiries with figures, not quantities
Instead of “How much for four cameras?”, an enquiry arrives with the distance, the mounting height and the required quality level already in it. That saves the first appointment, or at least keeps it short.
The standard as common ground
Every figure in the tool comes from DIN EN IEC 62676-4. That puts a quantity on the table both sides can refer to, towards an insurer or a tender as much as towards each other.
How it looks
Three scenes, one calculation.
The screenshots come from the running tool; nothing about them is staged. Click one and it opens large.
Setup
Four steps. Then it runs.
What you have to do stays within limits: have one conversation and place a link at the end. We take the rest, and we mean the whole rest.
- A conversation. Twenty minutes, by phone or video. We want to know which kinds of site you usually plan, which scenes you need for them and where the enquiries should go. There is nothing for you to prepare.
- We set it up. You send us your logo and tell us your colours, your contact details and where enquiries should land. We do the building. Your agency, or whoever looks after your website, has nothing to do and nothing to know about it.
- You link or embed. You get an address of your own from us. Either you put a link on it, like any other page, or you pull the tool into your site with four lines of code. Anyone who edits the pages of their own website manages both.
- Done, usually within a week. From then on we run it. Hosting, updates, maintenance of the camera catalogue and new models as soon as they appear. Nothing is installed on your server, and there is nothing for you to maintain.
Price
One amount, cancellable monthly.
On request
Setup is included. There is no minimum term, no one-off fee at the start and no deadline you can miss.
- Setup with your logo, your colours and your contact details
- Hosting, updates and maintenance of the camera catalogue, all with us
- Every enquiry from the tool goes straight to you
Common questions.
Do I have to install anything?
No, nothing at all. The tool runs on our servers under an address we set up for you. Not a single file lands on your web space, and no plugin goes into your content management system. You place a link or four lines of code, and that is where the contact with your website ends.
What if I have no website skills?
Then take the link; that is exactly what it is for. It behaves like any other link on your site and goes into any site builder. If you would rather have the tool embedded, we send you the finished code and tell you where it belongs. And if somebody else looks after your website, we will arrange it with them directly if you want.
Where does the camera data come from?
From the manufacturers’ data sheets. We take the resolution and the horizontal field of view exactly as the manufacturer measures them, and calculate nothing back from the focal length. That sounds pedantic, but it is the point at which many calculations come apart: with a real varifocal lens the measured and the back-calculated value are whole factors apart, not decimal places. The catalogue is maintained by us and grows with every data sheet we work through.
Can I get scenes of my own for my sector?
Yes. A yard, a warehouse, a shop entrance and a petrol station come with it. If you mostly plan car parks, hospital corridors or school yards, we build the matching scene to your specification. We charge for that separately, and we settle what it costs in the conversation beforehand.
Who owns the enquiries that come in through the tool?
You do. They go to the address you name and do not pass through us. We do not read them, do not pass them on and do not use them for our own purposes. What is written here is also in the contract.
How do I cancel?
An email is enough, to the end of the current month. There is no minimum term and no deadline that can slip past you. After the last month paid for we switch your address off. The enquiries that came in until then are with you anyway.
Appointment
Twenty minutes will do.
Bring a site you are planning at the moment or built recently. We rebuild it in the tool, and you see on your own case what comes out. After that you know whether it adds up for you.
