    Design it on the map.
    Buy the parts.
    Book the installer.

    Place cameras on satellite imagery or your floor plan and each lens draws its real field of view, with the DORI zones that show where a face is recognised and where a plate is readable. When the design is right, the parts list opens in the Todae store, priced and in stock, and a certified installer can be booked for the job.

    Free for a full project. No card, and no sign-up to look around.

    How it works

    Everything for a CCTV project, in one place.

    Design, equipment and installation on one platform, from the first camera to sign-off.

    01Design

    Draw the coverage on your plan.

    Cameras, lenses and coverage on satellite imagery or a PDF floor plan, with real optics rather than generic cones. Short on time? Send us the site and our team designs it for you.

    02Buy

    One click from design to a priced cart.

    The bill of materials opens in the Todae store as a cart, every line matched to a stocked product. Or shop the store on its own: cameras, recorders, alarms, cabling. Pay by card or EFT.

    03Install

    A certified technician, booked for you.

    Hand the job to a TodAidesign-certified installer. The scope comes from the design, the equipment ships to site through Todae, and scheduling is handled end to end.

    Inside the designer

    Prove the coverage before a cable is pulled.

    Real physics, a verified catalogue, and output a client can sign.

    3D view of the same site: Camera 1 on the office wall with its field of view laid over the car park, with the parked cars, trees and the fence in place
    3D viewCamera 1 over the car park, its sightlines checked against the trees and the fence.

    3D walk-through

    See what each camera will see, with the site in the way.

    Walk the design in three dimensions with the buildings, cars and trees in place. Check the mounting height and tilt of every camera, follow a sightline from the office wall to the far corner of the car park, and show the client exactly what will be on the recorder.

    • Height and tilt per camera, with the field of view redrawn as you adjust them.
    • Obstacles block the view the way they will on site, so blind spots show up now.
    • Share a read-only link and the client walks the same model in their browser.

    The lens maths, live

    Drag the lens. The coverage recomputes.

    This is the optical model the designer runs for every camera: field of view from focal length and sensor, and the four IEC 62676-4 DORI ranges from pixel density. Same maths, live here.
