Video Surveillance (CCTV) Estimating Software

CCTV and video surveillance estimating software. Count cameras from the drawings, build the camera, recorder and cabling BOM, and price it from your distributor quotes.

What is Video Surveillance (CCTV) Estimating?

Video surveillance estimating starts with every camera location on the plans: interior, exterior, wall and ceiling mounts, their lens and housing types from the schedule, and the Category 6 drop to each one. The BOM then adds the recorder or VMS, licenses, storage, switches and mounts the specification calls for. BidLark finds the camera symbols on each sheet, numbers them on a markup you can check, reads the specification for approved manufacturers and part numbers, and carries the counts into a priced BOM and proposal.
