W (%), H (%) - the size of the image on the sheet, in % of the sizes of the sheet.

In the Path box the path to the image file can be entered. To select a file click on the button . Possible file formats: bmp, jpeg, gif, tif, png, wmf, emf.

 

Below there are 4 identical panels where you can specify blocks of text.

Checkboxes Text 1..Text 4 include corresponded blocks of text on the cover.

       Cameras

 

The tab is intended for adjusting information about the cameras that you want to include in the report.

If the Real size checkbox is marked, then the images from the cameras will be generated in real-size in pixels.

If the Day and Night checkbox is marked, the report will include 2 images for each camera: for day and night time.

 

Clicking on the button starts updating the stored images.

Generation of 3D images from cameras can be time consuming. To save time of repeated PDF report generation VideoCAD keeps generated 3D images from cameras in memory. To update the 3D images click the Update button

 

If the Placement checkbox is marked, then the report will include fragments of layouts with positions of the cameras.

X (%), Height (%) - the position and height of the fragments of the layouts on the sheet, in % of the size of the sheet.

 

If cameras occupy too small fragments of plans, reduce the Maximum distance of drawing view area in the camera parameters.

 

Below there are checkboxes, by which you can select the camera parameters that should be included in the report.

 

       Other

 

On the tab additional information in the report can be adjusted.

 

Cameras summary - the number of cameras, the number of used models of cameras, lens focal lengths, the camera resolutions in pixels, the total cost of the cameras (if the cost is assigned to the used camera models).

 

Cables summary - the sum of the lengths of the cables.

All line segments and cables made by line types with marked Cable box in the parameters of the line type will be calculated.

These line types are considered as cable brands. These line types can be assigned to the Signal cable and the Power cable of any camera.

You can simply draw cables as line segments on layouts using these line types. In this case, the cables are considered as main cables which are not attached to any camera.

The report includes the cables attached to cameras and the main cables as well. Cable lengths are calculated for each brand (line type) separately.
