Physical Security

Field of view, mounting, pixel density, and camera planning tools.

Physical security problems usually show up as blind spots, weak detail, poor angles, or “we just need another camera.” These tools help you plan scene lighting, mount geometry, field coverage, spacing, and subject detail so the design is driven by real performance intent instead of guesswork.

Planning Guide

Physical Security Planning Guide

Walk through the Physical Security design process before opening individual tools. The guide explains the linear planning flow and the assumptions worth documenting before a camera plan is treated as complete.

Guided Design Flow

Start with the first step. Build toward the full design.

Some ScopedLabs tools work as a connected workflow. In Physical Security, the core area pipeline carries normal camera coverage areas from scene readiness through lens selection. Face recognition and license plate checks stay visible as optional specialty zones for entry doors, driveways, lanes, or other focused capture areas.

Optional specialty zones

Create these only when a specific doorway, lane, driveway, or capture area needs identity or vehicle validation.

The core area pipeline includes both Free and Pro tools. Pro access unlocks the core flow, optional specialty zone checks, exportable reports, and saved design snapshots.

Pipeline Setup Area-aware planning

Area / Zone Planning

Start by defining one or more site areas so camera count, distance, HFOV, spacing, lens selection, and detail validation can be tracked per zone instead of forcing one global assumption across the property.
