For installers

Your quotation, finally visible.

You know the situation. You have planned it properly: the entrance needs a telephoto lens, the doorway manages with a wide angle. And beside it lies a quotation that is considerably cheaper. Both sheets say “8 megapixels”, and so they look the same to your customer. The cctvfinder shows him the difference before you have to explain it. With your logo, on your own website.

What changes.

The conversation turns to the task

When your customer sees on screen why the camera at the entrance has to be different from the one at the door, the question about unit price disappears on its own. He understands what he is paying for. That is a different conversation from an argument about discounts, and it is a shorter one.

Enquiries you can actually work with

“I could do with a quote for a few cameras.” You know that call. Through the tool the distance, the mounting height and the quality level the customer actually needs come with it. Your first call back then settles details rather than fundamentals.

The same standard you already point to

Every figure in the tool comes from DIN EN 62676-4. Tenders are written to this standard, and in the event of a claim an expert checks the sums against it. Your customer therefore sees exactly the basis your quotation rests on.

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.

A yard, camera on the mast, target at 18 metres. The tool calculates 78.6 px/m and says with it: that is not enough for “Recognise”. Your customer reads the verdict beside the scene, without you having to read it out to him.
The same arithmetic in a racking aisle. Here your customer pulls the distance and the mounting height himself, and he sees at once how the number reacts. That is usually the moment it clicks.
84 pixels across two metres of width. That is exactly the picture the camera delivers at that spot, and exactly how little is left of a face. After that sight nobody asks again whether “HD” would not do.

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.

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.

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 and a shop entrance come with it. If you mostly plan filling stations, 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.
