This week, System Surveyor launched Camera Advisor, a feature available on System Surveyor’s web-based site survey and collaborative system design platform that helps users select the right video surveillance camera for each deployment. By identifying the specific resolution requirements needed for specific video analytics, license plate recognition (LPR), people counting, object recognition, and other AI-based applications, Camera Advisor simplifies the system design process by identifying the ideal camera for each unique application. Camera Advisor Camera Advisor ensures users select the right camera for each unique deployment area Based on the trusted industry standards of DORI (Detection, Observation, Recognition, Inspection), Camera Advisor streamlines complex technical decisions. Using the industry’s only two-way recommendation capability, Camera Advisor allows users to choose a camera and then view its resolution or select a desired resolution, then choose from a set of recommended cameras. With this ability to visualize a camera’s area of coverage (AoC), image quality (i.e. pixels per foot) and resolution at various distances, Camera Advisor ensures users select the right camera for each unique deployment area, streamlining the system design process and preventing human error. Simplifying the system design process “Our mission at System Surveyor has always been to simplify the system design process through powerful, intuitive and collaborative tools,” said Christopher Hugman, CEO of System Surveyor. “With the launch of Camera Advisor, we’re taking a major step forward in helping security professionals make smarter, faster decisions when selecting surveillance cameras.  We want to empower our users to design systems with greater accuracy, efficiency, and confidence.” For system integrators, Camera Advisor helps set customer expectations for image quality. For end users, Camera Advisor gives security professionals the confidence to select the right camera for their application. Key features: Identify the ideal cameras for AI, video analytics, LPR, people counting, object recognition and more Leverage DORI standards for real-time visualization, measuring Pixels Per Foot, Angle and Distance Narrow the preferred surveillance cameras to automate a bill of materials No need to switch between different tools or reference sheets Learn more about System Surveyor’s Camera Advisor.

System Surveyor has launched its free online System Surveyor Certification Program, available 24/7 for system integrators, security and IoT professionals. The program helps users master the company's site survey and system design software and create accurate survey layouts for proposals, documentation and bill of material reports. Visual collaboration simplified "Our video-based Certification Program helps our software users to become more proficient with site surveys and system design," said Laura Newell, System Surveyor's Director of Operations. "System Surveyor is becoming more broadly adopted across the industry, as it helps users visually collaborate with customers in a professional way.” “Our certified training program is designed to help make the most of these customer engagement opportunities, and our users have seen it as a true differentiation of their expertise and higher productivity.” Certification made simple The program includes online courses with videos, guided tours, and practical assessments. Certified users receive a digital badge for LinkedIn, social profiles, and email signatures, helping them connect with other certified professionals. Key benefits: Hands-on, scenario-based training Increased productivity and time savings Access to updated training materials Who can participate To participate in the Certification Program requires being a registered System Surveyor user. All registered accounts and users will be invited to the program via email. Sign up for a free account. Visit the System Surveyor team in booth #7051 at ISC West 2025 to learn more.

Installing physical security systems requires integrating diverse technologies (e.g., cameras, access control, alarms) that often use different protocols and must be adapted to a building's unique physical layout and legacy infrastructure.  Specialized technical expertise is required for seamless networking and proper configuration. Hopefully, no important factors are overlooked in the installation process. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: What is the most overlooked factor when installing physical security systems?

Students deserve a safe and positive environment where they can learn and thrive. Teachers and administrators should be able to focus on their primary role of educating students because they feel supported and protected by a comprehensive security plan. Staff require a clear protocol for responding to emergencies. And parents deserve peace of mind that their children are safe during the school day. One of the tools for safer schools is physical security technology. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: How can physical security systems make schools safer? 

The Internet of Things (IoT) is having a profound impact on businesses across various industries, including security. In physical security as in other business environments, the IoT is changing how systems operate, interact, and create value. In the process, the IoT is driving efficiency, reducing costs, and opening up new avenues for innovation and growth. We asked our Expert Panel Roundtable: How is the Internet of Things (IoT) transforming how security systems are deployed?
