Overall, VideoCAD by CCTVCAD Software Inc. stands out as a powerful and versatile tool for anyone involved in the design and implementation of video surveillance systems. Its combination of advanced features, user-friendly design, and comprehensive support make it an essential resource for optimizing security coverage and ensuring the success of any surveillance project. Whether you're designing a new system from scratch or upgrading an existing one, VideoCAD provides the tools and insights needed to achieve the best possible results.

Release notes:

New Release
Significant increase of speed and load capacity:
Increase in the speed of rendering cameras with view area projections in the Graphics window up to 10 times.
Increase the speed of rendering 3D models in the Graphics window up to 50 times.
Increase in the speed of rendering constructions from lines (lines, angles, rectangles, walls...) in the Graphics window by 2-3 times
It became possible to work with the simultaneous display on the screen of several thousand 3D models and hundreds of cameras with the most complex types of view area projections.*
Enabling filling of projections of view areas and gradient filling practically does not slow down the program.
Accurate modeling of lens distortion no longer slows down the program and can be used constantly for all cameras in the project for the most accurate modeling of real shapes of projections of view areas, without simplifications.
Turning on the High Resolution on top mode slows down the program only slightly. Previously, the slowdown from this mode was significant
Building projections of view areas On two levels slows down the program only slightly. Previously, the slowdown from this mode was strong.
Significant acceleration has been achieved in drawing complex graphics, such as PTZ or Fasheye cameras with gradient fills and a large number of obstacles
Significant acceleration has been achieved in drawing complex graphics, such as PTZ or Fasheye cameras with gradient fills and a large number of obstacles
Many procedures have been rewritten, bottlenecks have been identified and optimized. Working with complex projects has become more comfortable and stable.
Added the 2D Graphic Interface switch to the Options box: OpenGL (default, fast technology) and GDI+ (slow, but maximally compatible Windows technology).
*To speed up complex graphics, VideoCAD14 loads generated objects into the video card memory and uses the graphics processor, so the maximum number of objects in a project depends on the capabilities of the video
