Calculated, not estimated
Behind every result is a formula you can check with a pencil and paper. No rules of thumb, no numbers from experience.
This is cctvfinder.
Anyone who has ever compared camera data sheets knows the evening: fifteen PDFs open, megapixels and focal lengths everywhere, and at the end you still do not know which of them shows a face at your gate. The cctvfinder turns that round. You say what you want to see and how far away it is, and we tell you which cameras manage it.
Find CCTV cameras in a few clicks.
Instead of spending hours reading data sheets.
The basis
Planned to the standard, not by feel.
Every recommendation the cctvfinder makes rests on DIN EN 62676-4. That is the standard tenders are written to, and the one an expert checks the sums against in the event of a claim. If your system is planned to it, you can show why it looks the way it does.
Calculated to DIN EN 62676-4.
Because we know how it is done.
Surveillance quality, distance and mounting height.
Nothing else.
The cctvfinder does everything else for you.
Features
What is inside.
Suggestions for your spot, not for any spot
Distance, mounting height and the quality level you want add up to exactly one requirement. We show you the models that meet it and write the pixel density each reaches beside it.
Built by people who plan systems themselves
The tool came out of our own work: planning systems, assessing systems, reading standards. What is here we needed on real sites first.
Optics as they really are
Field of view, resolution, focal length and the slant distance from camera to target are all in the calculation. We take the field of view as the manufacturer measures it.
18 sensor formats, 20 resolutions
From 1/3″ to full frame, from VGA to 8K. The panoramic formats are in there too — the ones that deliver more pixels across the width than 4K despite having fewer megapixels. That is exactly what counts.
New: the 3D view
Put the camera in a yard, a warehouse or in front of a shop entrance and look at what arrives from there. In exactly as many pixels as your camera delivers at that spot.
To DIN EN 62676-4
Every task has its number.
Do you only want to know that someone walked across the yard? Or do you want to be able to say afterwards who it was? Those are two different tasks, and they need different numbers of pixels. The standard names the number for each task; the cctvfinder finds you the camera to match.

Still something unclear?
Write to us, even if the question is a small one. We would rather have a short email than a system that in the end cannot do what you needed.
