You are a designer, an engineer, an expert. You recognize the rapid pace and change. Stay ahead of the curve and embrace innovation. A team that imagines and challenges what's next. You're designing for the safety and security of the future, but it's not all about technology or cutting edge security solutions. Cameras, audio devices and sensors. Your designs are much more than what you see. There's a hidden layer of data captured by these devices, unlocking potential and driving insights to make buildings more efficient, more secure with seamless integration, tangible ways to future proof possibilities, and adapting to evolving threats and technologies. Axis Communications makes all of this possible, backed by a commitment to the long term, standing by what we say with integrity, pushing to develop innovative and reliable products without compromising on safety, security or privacy. Axis Communications doesn't just deliver on industry leading technology. We collaborate with you for the long term, design with you innovate, educate and lead, helping you design better because it Axis better matters. Welcome everyone. I appreciate you joining me for this afternoon's webinar, The Tools for the Designer. My name is Jeff Bauer. I am the manager of the Any Program for North America. Have to be honest with you, this is one of my favorite responsibilities at Axis as a degree engineer. It gives me a natural drive for designing and building, and the involvement that I've had over the years and the creation and the influence for the design tools has really been in my wheelhouse because I'm all about finding ways for consistency, driving efficiency in design, and most of all, being accurate. Taking a note from my Mama that always said it's always easier to do it right the first time, but at the end, honestly it's all. About what we. Can deliver to you to make you confident in the designs and reduce the amount of time that it takes you to get there. So I trust this webinar will illustrate this commitment to you and I encourage you to use our toys, I mean tools after the fact. I do have a couple of things that I'd like to go over really more logistically for the webinar. When you look at to the way that your screen is set up, you have the ability to move the screens around and expand different windows to your liking. So please feel free to do so as we go about the the session here. There is a help widget. I've got a couple of fantastic resources on the back end here. If you have any challenges at all with either hearing me or or viewing what's happening, please feel free to hit the help tab and we'll be sure to jump on that so we can get you engaged. There's also AQ and a widget at the bottom there and this is available to you. Please feel feel free to send any questions that you have as the webinar goes through. The one thing that I didn't want to make a note of, this is a little bit different because the demonstrations that I have for the three different products that we are demoing today is actually pre recorded. I've done that for a couple of reasons. First is that we found challenges in running 3 fairly process intensive programs at the same time. And the last thing I wanted to do was to have any challenges as we're getting through this. So I felt it was easier to do that. And honestly, the other way is to make sure that I stay on point because we did commit to an hour. So when we sure that we get you out on time. The advantage for you though is if you have any questions along the way, please feel free to send those in the Q&A section. I will be on the back end monitoring those questions and I'm happy to answer those and can do those right away. And of course, if there's a lot or things that may need a little bit longer explanation, we'll be sure to follow up with you after the webinar is complete. The other thing I wanted to bring your attention to is this is an accredited webinar which is available through a certificate through Bixi. So you'll notice on the slide here on the lower right hand side, there's something that looks like a medal. That's where you can find your certificate. Once you've gone through the session, feel free to download that and submit that to BIXI for your CEU credits. You can also take that and a description of the webinar and submit that for ASIS as well for accreditation. OK, First things first, I wanted to put a, a shameless promo together for the A&E program. So for those of you that may not have a lot of experience with myself or my team, we offer a lot of things for you to help you in the process in specifying systems. There's a lot of pieces that's are included in what we cover here. So anywhere from the A&E specifications to site designer to AutoCAD drawings to Bluebeam Revit that we'll talk about today. We also have documents for MTBF. We have our Axis price list, product discontinuation notices. This is when we end a life a product. We will tell you what the end of life path is, is consisting of and what the recommended replacements are. So all that information is available through the A&E program and you'll notice that I do reference that a couple of times inside of the the demos that we do as well. First things first is I wanted to ask a very quick question. Which of the three design tools that we will be talking about in this webinar do you use? And please feel free to select one or more as well. This will give me an idea of the, the breadth of knowledge that I have on the line here. I'll give this a minute. Oh, it's kind of quiet out there. I'm getting you during lunch. There we go. I'll let a few more of these come in here. This is really great information for us because it really helps us drive the the program and and drive these initiatives forward so we can continue to develop those. All right, I'll give it 10 more seconds. OK. And let's see what survey says. Oh, a very good, very good breadth of, of knowledge here. So I love that you're engaged with psych designer. That is obviously our, our, our foundational design platform. And I would expect the blue beam is a little bit low just because we just launched that. But this is really great information. So I appreciate you providing that to us. OK, what I'd like to do real quick is give you a look under the hood. So this, this is something I, I tend to share when we're working with the A&E community and there's a lot of information that's built into a couple of sides here. And really the intent of this is to show that it's super important for us to make sure that we are consistent across the product lines, to make sure that the values and the information and the design criteria that you have is consistent and it is reported consistently across the lines. So I did a studied about a year ago and the key here was to make sure that our two main platforms, the site designer and Revit were aligning together to make sure that whatever the pixel per foot calculation was at at the distance was consistent across both. We did find some inconsistencies and we were able to adapt to the algorithms accordingly. And in the end, this is the result of the the products that we chose for the test to make sure that they were aligning. So for the most part, we're within about 1% or so. And when you consider how far cameras are able to shoot, that's actually a very respectable number. So all of this to say that you can feel confident that those two platforms are tied together and that it doesn't matter which of those you use, you will get the same results. So you can feel confident in that when you're talking to your customer. The other thing I'd like to make aware of, and this is really more of a shameless plug for all of the different products that we have available for very quick information with our design tools. So some of those what we'll talk about today, we do have a separate product selector, accessory selector technology partner Finder, which is great for finding the partners that work with us, that Rite Aid caps that allow you to expand your design past the things that are are most normally offered inside of the Axis product line. The one thing that I want to make a note of, I'm going to be a little dramatic here, the lens calculator. You'll notice that that disappears off the map. So in true transparency with you all, I do that because I want to make a point that the calculator is not something that is connected to our other platforms. So you will see a little bit of a difference in the the variation of numbers. So I really encourage you to to use Site Designer for any needs there, OK, from the Site Designer platform, there were a lot of things that we did back in 2023 and things that we're launching at the very beginning of this year. A lot of the things there, I'll just highlight those and see if anything is of interest to you. You're certainly welcome to to ask any of us for additional help. A lot of this I will address inside of the demo, which is coming up next. So I'll go ahead and let that play. There are several ways to get to Axis Site Designer, so in case you forget the landing page, I'll take you through the website and show you how to get to the same place. So on Axis.com, if you go to Partner and then tools, Scroll down to the bottom, we'll go to the Site Designer landing page, which has a lot of really great information and resources for you, and then you can launch Site Designer straight from there. So the web address is sitedesigner.Axis.com. That's a great website to bookmark for future use. You'll also notice that I'm logged in and this does a couple of things for me. First, it allows me to use all of the mapping features because it takes a lot of processing for us to render the information inside of the maps. It's something that needs to be done at the Axis servers, can't be done in the browser as of yet. The second thing is it allows me to store any of my projects inside of the Axis cloud. So I literally have Axis to anything that I've worked on pretty much anywhere in the world. If privacy is a concern to you, you can export the project files. When you do this, it will export all of your settings inside of the project as well as all of your maps and give you the ability to store that on a local drive or a NASD drive or your project drive, wherever that may be. We also have an export project function, so I'll show you this while we're in the space. What we can do is once the site designer project is done, we can package that up for the ability to upload into VMS platforms. The first, of course, you would expect to Axis Camera Station. The second one is Milestone X Protect using the Axis Optimizer. So what'll happen is all the settings that you have predetermined, your camera names, your settings, your resolution, all of that will be uploaded into those VMS platforms and automatically programmed for you so that you don't have to run through those steps again. So this would be a real cost savings for you or for the integrator that's working on this. There's a really great video actually on YouTube. So if you have a chance, you want to see what the milestone interface looks like, just a YouTube milestone X protect and you can watch that video. It is a little bit lengthy, so I won't show it here, but it is a great source of information. All right, so let's open our project. Couple things from the dashboard. Immediately. You'll notice that I've listed all the devices that are part of my project as well as the estimated storage and bandwidth that's necessary given the settings that I've created inside of my scenarios. First thing I want to show is the standard that we have for project settings. We do recommend a certain setting to make it easier for you. In case you don't have a lot of experience with Zipstream. You can choose to move the slide bar. So if I move it down a little bit, it actually gives me the ability to compress more, which you'll notice that my storage and bandwidth was changed. Or I can use a little bit less of Zipstream and you notice now my storage and bit rate went up. So this immediately takes me down to the scenarios. But for just a moment, I wanted to talk about the schedules that are on the right hand side of the screen. The schedules give you the ability to schedule something in a certain moment of time, right? So I've defined things that are very easy, the 1st shift, 2nd shift, cleaning crew, things like that, just for illustration purposes. So to see that in a little bit more detail, let's open a scenario. Couple of things that are super important. I won't go into a lot of detail here. Feel free to reach out to any of us if you really want to get very custom in all of this. But I'll show you a little bit about how this process works. The most important thing is to get the right scene because this tells us how much is moving in the scene and how detailed the scene is. Because those are the two number one things that really determine what the bit rate is going to be, which then determines what your storage is going to be. Then the other questions of how much light is available to place well lit at night, is it not? I have the ability to set motion triggered as well as continuous. So default is motion triggered always, and I'll change this to 30. I'm going to record at whatever the maximum of the camera is at 264. I can go really crazy and get into the weeds here to change some things, which does affect the bandwidth. I can do the same for continuous recording if I wish. Again, here are the schedules that I've created. If I want to use audio project settings. Remember the slide bar that I used earlier? I can override for the scenario and then type in whatever information that I want. So this will affect the bit rate, but it is something that is only for the scenario and all the cameras associated to it and and that's it. I'll just leave this on because I like to have everything connected together and then I will go to 30 days of storage. As I go to the top, I get a message that changing the scenario will update 8 cameras. So that's about what I expected and I can close. All right, Next thing we'll do is go to the devices and these are the 77 devices that I talked about earlier along with all of the cameras that are listed here. We have the quantities, the model scenario, if I have add-ons, the bandwidth and storage. So all that is fairly self-explanatory. Couple things I wanted to point out is you will see red triangles once in a while. This is because the product that you have in your project has been discontinued. So we automatically offer a replacement for you. You can choose another one if you wish. So that will take all the settings. I'll make this change as well. Everything else looks good. The other thing you will see is a yellow triangle. So this tells me there's a problem with the scenario. So I will open this, get a little bit more detail. So for this particular camera, it is only available for 20 frames a second, not the 30 that I asked for. So I already understand that it's it's fine for the application that I have. So I'll just close this and I can ignore that message. Now I can add a device, there's multiple ways to do this. It really depends on how you want to to use or how much information that you have available for the product that you want. You can through the filters go to the different products that we have available along the top. We do have the ability to see what's discontinued. So we don't delete it. We just hide it because obviously we don't want you to design with a with an end to life product. But in case you need to reference something in the past that's available to you as well. And then of course, I can choose how I want to sort that. And I'll just leave this as a default. If I know what model I want, I can just type it in real quick. And you'll notice that the filters start to enact on the right hand side. Or I can make some decisions here. So I want to Dome even door applications. Let's say I would like Privacy Shield and AOA or Axis Object analytics. You'll see that the cameras are starting to sort again. If I want to get a little bit more granular, I can type in the scene requirements. So I want to shoot 50 feet. My target is a human, so I'll do 7 feet, let's say. And then let's do an installation height of eight feet. And then I would like to have 40 pixels per foot. If I want to see what the cameras viewing for the field of view, I have multiple options here. This is the view from the side. You'll notice that there is a dead spot and at the bottom here we're telling you that the blind spot is 12 feet away from the camera at the very end, which is my 50 feet. My target is also 50 feet, ironically, and then my tilt angle is 17°. I also have 3D viewing capabilities as well to see exactly what that camera is looking at. If I'm happy with the camera, I'll add it. We'll call this first floor lobby my interior camera, first floor. If you remember, I had a blue dot next to one of my scenarios. So this is the one that is automatically chosen for me, and I'm going to turn this red just to make it easier for me to see. Then when I go to the devices, it's at the top. First thing are the accessories. I'm going to wall mount this, which has the ability to mount automatically or I could choose a mount that I want to use, so I'll just grab this guy as an example. I can also add a lot more accessories at a granular level if I want to, but here's a list of the accessories that are necessary for that install under applications. Remember I wanted add object analytics as well as Privacy Shield, so I will add those. The scenario was already chosen and I'm good with those decisions. So immediately you'll notice that my bit rate as well as my storage for that individual camera is listed. Once I have everything completed, next step is to go to the recording. In this area, all of the red dials are available to me because I have nothing chosen. The goal here, kind of like a video game, is to turn everything green. So remember earlier my Project Zipstream setting? I can change this immediately and then design the recording if I wish, but I'll leave it to where it was. In this case, I'm going to choose a Genetech solution. So there's a couple of things that we can do to get to the right equipment necessary for the back end. I can use the Genetech Stream Vault calculator if I want. So this is a Genetech piece that allows them to calculate everything. The great thing here is it grabs all of the devices that are necessary as well as the recommended bit rate that comes from our platform because we're much closer in in estimating that. And then you could just move through that process. Otherwise, we can get super close with what we're doing in site designer. So I'll choose the Genetech solution. One you notice at the bottom here, I'm starting to turn my dials green, so I need licenses. I grab a base as well as. Let's put 80 licenses here just because I need a little bit of room, and then I will go to my switches and add those. Everything is green. Double check everything is green. I have all the recording that I need as part of the project. I can also add any accessory that I want. There are hundreds of accessories, so if you want to add that to your bill of material, you're welcome to do that. We also have the ability to add to things that are not inside of Axis, so if you wanted to add special parts, maybe this project needed a couple of doohickeys. Right now we go to the maps. So under the maps I have a couple of things that are very quickly available to me. First is I can do a Google map and lay down our cameras inside of the map itself, or I can just bring the building itself in. So there's a lot of power that is behind the mapping. And I'll leave this for future demonstrations or for someone from Axis to walk you through the very, very fine details. But let me just give you an idea of some of the really cool things that we can do here. You'll notice on the right hand side that there are some different available buttons. So doring is already represented here. So you notice the different levels. That's giving you the different pixels per foot at the detect, observe, recognize, and identify levels. OK. We also have the ability to do blockers. So because this is a 2D platform, we don't really know where the walls are because they're flat. So the blocker allows me to draw. And you'll notice here that I have the blue lines. This is outlining the building so that the field of view stays within that particular area. You'll notice how it happens here. I actually didn't block the door because I can see through the door. I also have the ability to add text and layers and change colors. I can also measure things. So if I wanted to measure the distance of something, I can just drag my lines If I wanted to see how far this field of view was. Something like this real quick. So for an example, let's drag this camera over and I'm going to put it right here, and I would like this to see into the area. So I'm going to pull this over and look into the lobby area. Now you notice that because of my blockers, it's actually just staying confined to the inside of the building. By the way, if you wanted to move the labels, because sometimes they overlap, if you just grab it, you can move the label to wherever it is that you would like as well. Another nice feature, and this is fairly new, is the ability to duplicate. So if I wanted to duplicate this camera down in the lower corridor, if I hold down the alt button and slide this down, it will actually place this camera inside of that corridor as well. And then I can make the adjustments. And then if I wanted to, I could actually change the name. I'll just change this real quick so I'm not confusing, and I'll call this 2:05. There we go. For this particular camera, we were looking for Axis object analytics. So I've chosen the analytic here for the map usage. And when I do that, we have the ability to outline where the person would be identified. So this is the class object, right? Anything that's a human would be recognized from here in. And then from this area down from the car is where I would be able to pick up and actually classify that that's a vehicle. And you'll notice that it works as I zoom in and out, that it is interactive with the field of view that I'm looking at. To get your distances, if you just drag this, you can immediately tell that's about 164 feet. It's about 122 feet to that area. So it gives you real time information back. The last thing to make you aware of is the fact that we can add a camera straight from the mapping interface rather than having to go back to the devices. So this is really easy. I can add the camera, drag it onto the map very, very quickly. All of the cameras that are here and deployed are available. You'll also notice that we have color schemes, right? So I've got some purples and Blues and yellows. If I go back to the devices, as I Scroll down, you'll notice that the icon actually carries those colors too, to make it very easy to see. The other thing too is when you're in the device area, if you select the button here, it will show you where you have that installed on a map. So again, it's a lot of different ways to get to the same amount of information. OK, let's move to the reports. Just a couple of things I wanted to show you with the reports here. So first is your bill of material. So this is a quick list of everything that's in this project. Of course, I have the ability to export that into Excel. I have a bandwidth report. This is available in case you want to use a different VMS or you the the VMS provider is asking for this information. We highly recommend that you take this data and provide it to them because we are the best at estimating the amount of storage or the the bit rate that's necessary for the settings that you define inside of the project. So what I would recommend is to export this to Excel, send it to your VMS partner and let them make their estimations based on this information inside of their platform. Me, under the sales quote, we also have MSRP that's available. If I want to add a little bit of this, I can put 10% on top of all the numbers, or I can just blank this out and take Axis's word for it and copy the MSRP over. And this will give you a list of all the pricing that's available as well. Now to the really fun part. Under documentation, we have the ability to download any of the data sheets that you want. Eventually this will give you the ability to download much more, very similar to what we're doing with the A&E media that we have online. At the very bottom here, you'll notice that we have the Axis specification compiler. This is something that is available to the A&E program members only. So we're very protective of this. Let me show you how this works. The specification compiler will grab all of the products that I've defined, all 77 of those in groups in the specification in the check boxes on the left hand side. So of course you have the ability to add or subtract anything that you we automatically line those up for you. Now, by the way, you can also do this without having any project or, excuse me, any devices in your project. So if I open up a blank project, go to the CSI compiler, I can very quickly check the boxes of the products that I want and create the specification. So that's a very quick way to do it as well. While we're in the screen though, the the ability to change the way that this is numbered in the specification is built into the way that the icons are laid out. So if I wanted to move things around a little bit, so the way I look at it is this is going to be line 123456 and so on. So I can change things around to look. However it is that I wish when the output is delivered on the specification side, if everything is good, just a double check to make sure that all the products are there. I can do a location. I have the ability to build this by a unified spec, which is everything in one, or I could do it by division. So Division 2728, all of those will be offered to you in the section that they belong to. We also have performance base, which is the way that we've always been. We're working on a way to make Axis branded pieces as well. So once that's available, this check box will be on. And then I just say create just in case there are some specifications that may not be inside of our software, we will tell you that there are a couple that we missed here. So we would need to grab those specifications, add them. Now it's just a matter of downloading and we will open the spec and this is what the spec looks like. I carry the title and the location, and then at the very bottom of this page, I start with all of the devices. So there are, well, there's a lot, there's 39 devices that are in here. So it may have seemed as though it took a while to compile this document, but if you look at here, we've got 264 pages that was done in what, about 30 seconds or so. So that's the way that the CSI compiler works as well. I think this is about a wrap for the site designer demo. If you have any questions, the A&E team is more than welcome to walk through very specific examples or any questions that you may have to make sure that you feel comfortable in using this. So I will let them be the frontline support for anything that is related to the Axis site designer platform. OK, so let's move on to the Axis plug in for Revit. I wanted to show the mechanical part of a camera just in case. There are a few on the webinar that haven't really installed the camera before because the mechanical settings on how we adjust the camera are very much relevant to how the the the product is defined inside of your project. So. I wanted to show a quick. Video here first of a Dome camera just to give you an idea of what the different positioning pieces are. I don't believe I have any fancy music for you here so I will let this video play through. The reason why I started a little bit at the beginning here is to show how the camera is actually installed. So you notice that we're putting the grommet on the wire before it gets plugged into the camera. So this is where we're holding the IP rating for that camera, making certain that we don't have water that comes inside of the module itself. All right, so the most important part is the tilt. So this is the ability to go up and down basically. Then we have the pan which takes left and right, and then there's also a choice for corridor format. So essentially this is taking the image and rotating to a 9 by 16. The expectation there, of course, is that it gives me a much further depth of field, especially when I'm looking down a corridor. OK, the other thing that I wanted. To do was to show the multi sensor real quick. So let me start this one. This has the same principles that the fixed camera does, but there's a little bit of difference. We're introducing a new field called Orbit, so I'll show you what that looks like. So hopefully that'll make a little bit more sense when we look at the the orbit field inside of Revit. Couple of things to talk about a lot of this I will do. I will present inside of the actual demo itself. The one thing that I wanted to make you aware of and it's, it's a little bit difficult to see a lot of the back end work that happens. It's, it's kind of like when you build a house, right? You just keep going and going and going and then all of a sudden it looks like a a home or all of a sudden it looks like a room. There are about 3 pages of things that we have accomplished on the back end of Revit. And the biggest part of that is to, to be able to attach everything to Azure now, which gives us a lot more stability and a lot more speed. All of the other things that are listed here. Maybe something caught your eye. I will talk about that as we get into the demo. So let's kick it off. Before we get too far into the Revit demo, I'd like to show you some of the resources that we have available. When you log into theaccess.com website under Partner Pages, again, you'll see a screen that's fairly similar to this for the Axis Partner web. If I go to the tools drop down and the Revit plug in, all the information that we have for this design tool is available on this page. Of course, there's the immediate plug in download, which by the way, we've released a new plug in about a month ago, so please make sure that you grab the latest from us as we Scroll down. We have the version history and we also have the video series. So this video series was put together to help walk through some of the steps of the platform and some of the features that we have. I believe there's up to about 10 and they are very specific to certain features and functionality inside of the platform to make sure that we give you something owes you how things work in case you ever run into any challenges. So when you're running into issues, my first recommendation is to go to this website, see if there's a video that will help walk you through. They're not very long and they're really nice to run side by side with the platform in case you ever run into any challenges. As with any project, the 1st place we want to start is the product selector. So this looks fairly familiar to you if you've used the plug in before, there's not a lot of change that's here. We still have the filters on the left, all the products on the right. We do have a couple of additional pieces here if I want to collapse everything to try to manage all of the products that are available to us. The biggest difference that we have is everything that is available to you is now stored in the Axis Azure cloud rather than the old servers that we used to use. This does a couple of things. First is that it gives us much more stability and it also gives us speed. And you'll notice that when you're working with the product selector as well as the update tool. So let me start this process and insert a camera and I'll show you what the new changes to the models place and we will put this right here. OK? First thing I need to do is get the camera off the floor. So I will put it at a height of seven six. I'm going to change the bottom limit at 76 because I don't want to go in through the floor. I'll change this to A1 and the distance I can change to a particular number if I wish. The easier way is to grab the stretch arrow and just pull it to the end of the lobby there and it will automatically adjust the field of view for you. I can also change the lens so I'm zooming in to a particular area. There are informational fields, and this is new. That's will tell you the range of the lens as well as the resolution, the horizontal range, and the vertical range. These are informational. That's why they're grayed out. The next recommendation is to give the camera a name. We'll name it something silly just to be able to find it down the road. I'll give it a camera number, and I also want to give it a scenario. Remember earlier when we talked about Site Designer, how the scenarios actually controlled the bit rate as well as the storage? The recommendation is to assign the scenario inside of Revit so that when you convert the information over to the Site Designer platform, all of the scenarios already contain the cameras that will be affected accordingly. This is a much faster process to do it here rather than having to change all of the cameras. Once I get to the Site Designer side, I already have a list that's out for the cameras that I put into the program already. I will just call another scenario just to make it easy to find and then I have an auto update 3D view name as you'll notice that it's grayed out. So this is a new feature and the reason why it's grayed out is because we have to be very concerned with backwards compatibility because you may have done something different in past projects and the last thing we want to do is to make a change without you knowing. I'll show you what this does in just a moment, OK? The next thing to do is shoot the 3D image and we'll adjust the camera accordingly. So right now I can tell I've got a couple of challenges. First, as I need to tilt the camera up, remember the mechanical tilt that I showed you in the demo video earlier? I also want to change to the right just a little bit. So I will rotate that camera and then I'm going to go to the realistic view just because it's cool picture. There is a new feature, it's a little bit hidden, but there is a new feature that's available for the 3D view. If I go to the general and settings, let me pull the box over here, there is a cut at end of view. If I check that box and then reshoot the 3D camera, you, you can see what happens. So I'm doing a saying that anything is just my distance to object, which was the end of the lobby. I don't want to see inside of my picture. This has certain uses, certain benefits for your clients. So if it's something that you want to use, it is universally applied. So as soon as I check that box, everything that you do will automatically cut at the end. So you can do that across everything in the project or you can do it by camera. It's certainly up to your choice. Also notice that I have my name. Whatever. If I go over to my 3D list, here it is. If I choose to change the name and I'll just call it with my name, I guess you notice that the name changed as well. Now I have something from a demo I did earlier that a view that doesn't really exist or I don't want. So what I'll do here real quick is unlock, which unpins everything, and then I can delete that and then I'm going to lock it again. OK, The next thing I'd like to show is a couple of changes we had with collision detection. So I will choose this camera and let's go with the collision detection. And this is what I expect. It actually is within the confines of the walls of the room. So that really shows what the camera is capable of seeing. Now if I want to do something different, there are times when certain materials show up from the architect or maybe I don't want to block at the door. You can change these settings inside of the drop down and the settings tab. I'll pull this over for us to look at. These are all the materials that we react to naturally and there's a lot more that are available. So I'm going to change one just to show you what happened. So I'll uncheck the door so I won't react to the door and say OK. Then what I want to do is I will delete the collision detection and I can actually show the field of view again if I wish, but then let's reshoot those. So you notice now that we told collision detection not to react to the door and it shows the camera that actually looks through the door. So this has a lot of different beneficial uses. We've had customers with challenges and materials and projects. This may solve some of the problems as well if you really run into a trouble where collision detection isn't working as you would expect. The other thing that we've done is we react to any changes to the camera. So if I change the field of view and let's just rotate that camera back 10°, you'll notice that my collision detection disappears for obvious reasons. Really, this is something that we've put into place to make certain that when you make a change to a camera that you don't accidentally leave the old field of view behind and then you run into issues with what the expectation is based on false data. So simply, all we have to do is go back up, reshoot the collision detection and we're back to where we need to be. Now a couple of little things that we've done with camera. That is a positioning camera. We've given you the ability to show four different presets. This really gives you the ability to show that the camera can zoom in and get views of certain areas that may be of importance to a customer. If someone is interested in knowing what the view at a gate looks like and then the view of a man gate next to it, you can set those presets and actually shoot the image to show the customer that the camera camera is capable of providing the right information where the camera is located and at the distance that it is from that object. The other thing we have is multiple lenses. So let me type in the P13 and let's just grab this guy here and I'll just drop him on the wall right about there and pull this off the ground, OK? Because this is a box camera, we have multiple lenses that are available. Notice here under the lens option there's a zero and we have a zero through 5. Still those has its own range. I will set this to let's set it to 6mm so I can change the field of view. And if I change the lenses, it will automatically change the field of view for me and make sure that the lens that is specified is still within range of what I'm trying to cover. If I choose lens #5 Just to show you how the the program works here. This lens is a 9 to 50mm. So remember earlier I asked for six, which is out of spec. So even though I asked for six, you notice right here my actual focal length is 9. So we're actually moving the display of that focal length up to 9mm to make sure that it's within the specification of that lens. We're basically we will adjust for you just in case you forget to make this change as well. OK. Next thing I'd like to do is go to the product update tool. This is looking for any of the products that you've specified inside of the project that we know have an end of life path. Now, I've purposely left a lot of information in here just to show what the tool is capable of doing, the way that we'll pull this together. And there are a couple of new features that we've added, by the way. First is that we are categorizing each of the cameras that are out there. So we have the fixed Dome cameras, we have PTZ cameras, and then we give a list of each model that's available as well. And if you drop down, you can actually see the information that is available for those models. So it gives you a very granular look at all the products that have a known end of life process inside of the platform. Most of the time we're able to line you up with the correct replacement. This is pulled right off of our database so that we can automatically line everything for you. There is a chance that you will get a product once in a while that we not really sure what to do if that happens. If you select this little button here, it will launch the product selection tool and then you can choose the one that you want. So remember that this is a recessed ceiling mount. So I'm going to select a 3085 and it was a recessed ceiling mount, say OK, and I have one more here. All right, Axis control panel, select replace, and I have green lights across the board, so I'm good now to update all of these. There are multiple ways again to do this. You can do it by category of camera, you can do it individually, you can do all of them at the same time, and I'll just do a select All this really is put into place to give you an idea of how many products are available for replacement. There could be times where you have hundreds or thousands of cameras that you need to update to the current version. So you're probably better off making choices and doing that in steps. Don't have very money, so I'll let this run and I will say update products and we do give you a warning that it might take a little bit of time. So sometimes you might want to run and grab a coffee in a Danish while while the system is doing its work. Once this is all done, we're just going through and rescanning the project to make sure that we caught all of the models that were end of life. One of the changes that we've made in this platform is we can actually do multiple changes. So remember from before, if I had multiple series, so say I have the P3225 that went to the 3245, that goes to the 3265. The way we do it now is we actually are able to jump from the 3225 all the way to the 65 rather than having to take those incremental steps. So this saves you a lot of time and we do a scan real quick to make sure there's nothing there so we know that we've caught everything. The other note, by the way, just from an efficiency standpoint, is when we're doing the final search to make sure that there are no products that were missed in the update process. This actually scans what we already knew rather than having to scan the entire project all over again. So that's why you notice that the the rescan time was much faster than the original scan time. OK, the next thing to look at is something brand new to us. There is an installation report. Essentially what it does is gives you the about the same information that the site designer platform does. What we do is create a schedule first. So the schedule is essentially a list of all of the devices that you want to have in the installation report, because you may want to pick or choose a few rather than creating something for all 56700 cameras because that that would take some time. Once we have the schedule that we want to use, we'll just create the installation report and then choose the schedule that I want to use and say, OK, save it and let it create the report. OK, When it's all done, this is what the report will look like. It's a Word document. It has all the same capabilities for edit, so I can make the font larger if I wish. But you'll notice that we have the major components of the location and application of the camera as well as the picture. And this goes on for several pages. OK, the last thing to show you is the site designer export. This is a flat file and essentially I'll just create a file here, we'll call it Revit Webinar, so I can find it if I could spell proper here and say save. So all of the settings and all the information that's available in Revit is now available to import into Site Designer. When you're in the Site Designer platform, if you import the project and we'll grab the Revit webinar open, wait for the green light project imported and we're good. Let's open this and immediately you notice that the devices, 61 devices, 5 terabytes, 366 megabits. There's also a list of all of the scenarios that I've created from Revit. You'll notice that the cameras are clumped into all of those scenarios to make it very easy to make the changes. And here's my whatever that I put in there just to show that the transfer works. So now all I have to do is change the scenarios to make sure they align with what my expectations are. And I can go through the same process to finish up the rest of the project that I showed in the earlier demo with Site Designer. OK, so let's switch back to Revit. Now I have one more thing to show you that will be coming in the very near future. One of the most common requests that I get from customers that want to change the 2D icons that we use. Now, I'll try not to take offence because I really love ours. I'm kidding, they're pretty basic. But what I wanted to do is to show you what we're working on to give you the ability to use whatever your company's standards are and be able to implement those into your projects. First thing I'll do to make this easy is let's change this to the course level. And you know why I was making a joke? Because this symbol has been around for as long as I've been in the business. So let's say that I don't want to use these symbols anymore. You'll notice that when you load the new products that we will launch, inside of the selector, there's going to be a new device called the Axis 2D symbol. So essentially what we're doing is for every category of camera, box, camera, multi sensor, PTZ and so on, we will have an associated icon to that. So to change that, it's actually quite easy. So what I'll do here is right click this and say edit and then go to the family annotation. And I will. Edit the box just to make it easy. OK, just for illustration purposes, I'll make this a little bit easy. I'll just give them a long schnoz. All right, I'm going to load this into the 2D symbol first because that's my new master and I will override it and then I will load and excuse me, close it and load it into my project. And for now I won't save it. OK, that's the 1st way. So you notice that my 2 box cameras have now changed. The other way that you could do this is again, we'll go to the 2D symbol and edit and edit the box. Or I'll just select the box actually, and then go up to insert load family. Tell you what, I'll drag this over here so you can see what I'm selecting all right, And I will grab the box which I've already defined. I'm going to override it again, load into the project, say, OK, and I still don't want to save that because I want to make more changes. And then I will overwrite. And now it's going to go and overwrite all of my box camera symbols to that look. Let's assume that you've already defined all of the icons that you want for all of the different types of cameras. What I can do now is under the 2D symbol is I can go up to my insert load family and I will grab the entire folder overwrite and you notice that all of them change. So it can be that easy. Here's the truth behind all of the process. What we found is it's taken us a little bit longer to export this and make it available because we found that there were issues with processing and it was really bogging down Revit. So we had to find a better way. What we're doing right now is you notice this is the current version of Revit that I'm running, so it is available inside of the plug in. All we're waiting for now is for us to go through and change all 220 cameras and or components rather to make sure that we're aligned with the correct baseline. This takes time. I know that they're working on it now. It is the 220 some that we have available times the all of the versions of Revit that we need to support. So there's a lot of data that we're trying to to compile and get ready. My understanding is this should be available right about the the summertime. So we're really hopeful that this is going to be coming out very soon. What I can tell you, aside from knowing the announcements that we may post for this, and again it will be on the website as well, that when the product selector loads, when you see that you have a 2D symbol device that is added with your camera, that's when that feature will be available to you. So stay tuned to us, make sure you stay connected, check the website, stay connected with your regional manager. We're happy to to share the news as soon as we have those logged for you, OK? Apologize for that. I had my my microphone off. So next thing we're going to talk about is the Bluebeam interface and a couple of things. As you know, the reason why we do this is so that we can have a tool kit available. And through the demo we'll show you exactly how this is used so that you can go ahead and implement this as soon as as soon as you get done with this call here. So I will move very quickly into the demo and we'll review this as well. This is pretty short. The Axis Toolkit for Bluebeam can be found on the Axis Partner web. The best way to get to this is through the Axis.com website. Go to any partner pages and once you log in, you'll have a screen that looks fairly similar to the one I've displayed here. There's a lot of information, by the way, that's available to you through the partner web, so please feel free to come back at a later date and look around because we have a lot of information that we provide very specifically to the A&E community that really helps you in your workflow and helps you get to information a lot faster. On the left hand side is a tools directory that lists all of the tools that we provide for the A&E community. If I select the blue beam, the web page comes up. Couple of people mention here. The 1st is that there is an embedded video that's available. So if you forget something that I've gone through in this webinar or you have someone, it's a real quick refresh and how the Bluebeam Toolkit is working. You're more than welcome to come back to this website and view that video. The download is right here. So once we download, you'll end up with a zip file that contains 3 different directories. The first one is the Axis properties. This is an XML file that helps us build out the bottom of the Blue Beam platform that aligns all of the different devices that you put into the project, and I'll show you what that looks like in just a moment. The next is the tool set itself. This should look fairly familiar to you. You have the ability to load any of the models that you want, or I can just select all of them and drag them into the platform and have them immediately available to me. OK, let's switch over to Bluebeam and I will open the tool chest. And I apologize, we can't see the very bottom of this list, but it has the managed tool sets. This should be fairly familiar to you if you've used Bluebeam before, so I won't go into too much detail except to show that all of our models are listed here. And again, you can reorder and delete and add just as you would anything else inside of Bluebeam. The tool chest also gives a full list of the cameras that I want to brought into the tool set. And again, I have the ability to check certain models and turn them off if I don't expect to use them. And it really helps shorten the toolbox a little bit. It's important while I have this open to mention that we have a cross section of products that are most commonly specified and you'll see box cameras, PTZ cameras, Dome cameras, bullet cameras, multi sensor cameras, thermals. So there is a good population of our most commonly used product lines that are available for you to use for the collaboration inside of your projects. So let's get started and open up a project. The very bottom here, the XML file that I referenced earlier. This is where all the information that we have embedded in the icons or in the products are listed. I'll show you what this looks like a little bit more as we move along because it's very specific to our products and it gives you some really great information. First thing I'll do is put a camera in place. I'll grab a 3265 and drag the icon over. One thing to notice here, if I hover over this, I have four pieces of information. It tells you the type of camera, the resolution, the focal length, and the horizontal angle, which is really important. I'll show you why in just a moment. Next thing I'll do is drag the field of view over, and I think I'll drag this over a little bit, make it a little bit larger, and I'm happy where that is. There are some text fields that are embedded in here, so let's bring those to light by changing a little bit. So first thing I'll do is make this field of view a green color so that it stands out to me. I can then change the font and I'll just make this large just to overstate the case and we'll have black. OK, 33.71. That is the distance or what we call distance to object inside of the Bluebeam platform. I can change this manually if I wish to 50 and it will change the distance accordingly. The other thing to keep in mind is my angle. You see how the angle changes when I move the field of view in and out. Remember the number that I mentioned earlier, There's two places to find it. The 1st is if I hover. Or the 2nd is if I look down in the chart down here and I see 100 to 36. So as long as this number is between that variation 136, you know that you're within the technical specifications of the lens for that camera. And if you decide to put that camera in that place that you'll get the image that you're looking for. The other thing we can do is select a mount. This is just a really a generic mount or an indication that you want something, not necessarily defining a specific model number. So in this case, I want to do a wall mount. And you'll notice down here in the chart that it actually shows up as a wall mount as well. Now, if I want, I can change it here too. So it just depends on where it is that you want to change it inside of the platform. The other thing is I can add a label to the field of view. So if I select the label field over here, I'll just say lobby for camera entrance. And now I have a label for what that camera's intended purposes. This is really nice when I have multiple sensors. If I go up to this one here, you'll notice that I have a N hall West and a N hall east. So that tells me the direction that the field of view is looking. To make it a little bit easier to get oriented as to what the camera field of view was and what the intent of the design was, I will zoom out just a little bit here. Under the layers we have two layers, field of view and camera symbol. Should be fairly easy to pick up on that. If I want to add the camera to the legend, I've already created one just to make it easy. If I select all right click legend and add it to the security camera legend, you'll notice that it changed up here as well. And yes, it could actually be that simple. This is the tool kit that we are providing today. We certainly hope that it's of beneficial use to you, but we're always open for recommendations on what we can do to make this better so that your workflow works a lot cleaner. There is a dial box inside of the Axis partner web where you can offer suggestions. Please do so because we're really interested in what we can do to make this better for you because at the end of the day, that's who we're building this for. If you have any questions on how to use those, please refer to the website or feel free to reach out to any of the A&E team members. We've been more than happy to help. Fantastic boy. That is a lot of information to try to put into a one hour session, so I apologize for going a little bit fast through some of this. I appreciate all the questions, all of the feedback that you've given us thus far. Please keep it coming because we build this for you. So if there are things that we can do better that helps with your workflow a lot look better, we're all ears. So feel free to reach out to myself or any of our managers. We're more than happy to take that information back and see what we can do to to implement some of the ideas that you have as well. I encourage you to make sure that you're staying tuned with the A&E partner pages. That's a great place for resources for information that you need in your daily workflow. And my last request of you is to please leave feedback for us not only on things for recommendations in the product, but just how things went, how we're doing with the design tools because that feedback really energizes us to make sure that we're able to deliver what is absolutely necessary and relevant for you. I appreciate your time today. Thank you so much for joining the webinar and I wish you good week. _1736895222133
