VideoCAD_Lite is an inexpensive version of VideoCAD with limited features. VideoCAD_Lite offers only the most useful and easy-to-master tools for CCTV design.

• Choose the most suitable lenses, heights and locations for camera installation to provide the required parameters of view areas.
• Calculate the horizontal projection sizes of view areas to draw them on the location plan.
• Choose visually a relative location of cameras using the graphics window with CAD interface.
• Locate cameras and cables on the prepared layouts in *.bmp, *.jpg, *.emf, *.wmf, *.dwg, *.dxf formats. To import *.dwg and *.dxf files the CAD Import module by CAD Soft Tools http://www.cadsofttools.com was used.
• Obtain a drawing containing two projections of site layout with the camera images, calculated view areas and cables, and with coordinate grid and titles to be used in graphical path of the project as well.
• Print the obtained drawing on one or several pages. You can use prepared frames with standard title-Block and logo.
• Export the obtained drawing into any of the following formats: *.bmp,*.emf, *.wmf, *.dxf (R14),*.dxf (R2000).
• Obtain a text file with full description of all cameras in project, view areas and cables to be pasted into a project explanatory note or used as instruction for installation.
• Construct three dimensional models of real scenes with the possibility of loading prepared 3D models (a person, a car, etc., this library can be enlarged).
• Design operator interface using the Monitor window.
• Calculate the length and electric parameters of cables.
• Spare the means and win tenders due to the reduction of cameras' quantity in projects and increase of their efficiency.
• Reduce time expended and boost design quality.
• Cut down the amount of controversial situations with customers and accelerate their solution.

• Choose the most suitable lenses, heights and locations for camera installation to provide the required parameters of view areas for detection and identification of a person and license plate reading.
• Calculate the horizontal projection sizes of person detecting, identifying and license plate reading areas to draw them on the location plan.
• Calculate the image size on display of any object in camera view area in percentage of display size, pixels, TV lines and millimetres (inches in case of Imperial format).
• Calculate and model depth of field of each camera in project.
• Get detailed adjustable table of all initial and calculated parameters of cameras in project. Print the table or export it to *.txt, *.csv,*.rtf, *.xls, *.htm formats.
• Model observed scene parameters (illumination, visibility limitations).
• Model luminaires considering spectrum of radiation and spectral sensitivity of image sensors, including discharge lamps with complex spectrum and infrared LED illuminators.
• Model camera parameters (spectral response, number of pixels, resolution, minimum illumination at known signal/noise ratio, IRE and aperture, maximum signal/noise ratio, electronic shutter, AGC, BLC, gamma, day/night cameras).
• Model lens parameters ( aperture, auto iris DC and Video Drive).
• Model DVR parameters (brightness, contrast, compression, horizontal and vertical sharpness).
• Obtain Image Model for each camera in the project based on models of scene and equipment. This image can be printed and saved.
• Maintain database of camera models, assign different models for cameras in project, compare models with each other.
• Measure sensitivity and resolution of real video cameras in order to obtain precise parameters for modeling (illumination meter is additionally required).
• Analyze real video images and live video on the computer monitor. Measure signal-to-noise ratio and other parameters.
• Determine from the Spectral Power Distribution curves and measure in practice the Spectral efficiency of light sources for the different image sensors.
