 "Axis Introduces 3D Camera Models For Autodesk Revit")
Axis Communications, the network video provider, has launched a strong addition to its offer of tools for security system designers. The camera models in Axis Camera Families include detailed metadata required for Building Information Modeling (BIM). The 3D models will also let security system designers interactively visualise camera coverage to help them select the right camera model and optimise the system layout.
“Security should be an integral part of the design process of any new large building,” explained Peter Friberg, Director of System and Services, Axis Communications. “To achieve the best level of security and avoid blind spots that could potentially become a security issue, security systems need to be planned at the same time as other essential services such as electricity and plumbing.”
With the new 3D models in Axis Camera Families, security system designers can place Axis Network Cameras directly into CAD building plans and visualise the areas the cameras will cover. The software allows them to see exactly how the cameras fit into the building layout and to easily detect if views are obstructed by columns or walls, to help reduce unexpected blind spots. This means security system planning can now be completed as an integrated part of the building design, integrating into the same tool flow that is used for the rest of the building design. Users of the CAD system can also access information about each camera such as the model number, mounting accessories, power consumption and resolution.
Building Information Modeling is a concept where all components in a building, such as walls, doors, plumbing etc., are included in a CAD database, giving a complete picture of every detail included in the design. This database is then not only used in planning and erecting the building, but also throughout the entire lifespan of the building to plan building maintenance and management.
