Prove what every camera sees — before it is mounted
A PPF calculator hands you a number; your customer stands in the aisle at midnight and asks why the face is not identifiable. SiteOps Command computes each camera’s actual point of view — walls, glass, racking, fisheye optics, and IR — from the manufacturer’s datasheet.
What you run today
A number, a markup, and a flashlight
The gaps between these three are where handoff disputes are born.

What each camera sees
The point of view, not a cone
Every camera renders a three-dimensional point of view computed from its lens geometry: focal length, sensor, mounting height, tilt. Walls, glass, and warehouse racking cast real shadows in it — so the view you sell is the view the customer gets.
- Shadow-casting field of view: walls, glass, and racking block what they should
- Per-camera POV rendered in 3D from the datasheet lens geometry
- Warehouse aisles covered honestly: racking runs and areas occlude views the way steel does on site
Occlusion, respected
- Walls
- material and thickness block views
- Glass
- modeled, not ignored
- Racking
- in-rack and cross-rack shadowed
- Result
- the actual point of view
IEC 62676-4
DORI on every target, fisheye included
Pixels-on-target is computed per zone against DORI — detect, observe, recognize, identify. Fisheye and panoramic lenses get real projection models, not a straight-line PPF formula stretched past where it holds.
- DORI (IEC 62676-4) pixel-density targets evaluated per zone
- Multiple lens projection models, including fisheye and panoramic
- Coverage heatmaps that account for structural occlusion across the whole floor
DORI tiers
- Detect
- presence in the scene
- Observe
- activity and behavior
- Recognize
- a known individual
- Identify

IR from the datasheet
Night is not a guess
IR night-vision range is read from each camera’s datasheet beam specification and applied to the coverage math — so the doorway that identifies a face at noon and loses it at midnight is caught at design time, not on the punch list.
- IR range from manufacturer beam specs, per camera
- Night-mode coverage evaluation alongside the daytime view
- Per-camera POV reports a customer can verify standing on site
After dark
- IR range
- datasheet beam specification
- Night mode
- coverage with IR applied
- Report
- per-camera POV, printable
- Handoff
- verifiable on site

Security installer questions
How is this different from the IPVM Calculator?
A PPF calculator projects pixel density along a straight line. SiteOps Command computes each camera’s three-dimensional point of view — with walls, glass, and warehouse racking casting real shadows — models fisheye and panoramic lenses, applies DORI (IEC 62676-4) targets per zone, and reads IR night-vision range from the datasheet beam specification.
Can it show coverage at night?
Yes. IR range comes from each camera’s datasheet beam specification, and coverage can be evaluated in night mode — so a camera that covers the aisle at noon and loses it at midnight is caught at design time, not at handoff.
What do we hand the customer at sign-off?
Per-camera point-of-view reports, coverage heatmaps that account for structural occlusion, and print-ready multi-floor site plan sets — all generated from the same model the design was built in, so the deliverable matches what was sold.
Does it handle warehouse racking?
Yes — racking is a first-class obstacle. Runs and areas block camera views the way steel and pallets do on site: aisles are covered, in-rack and cross-rack views are shadowed, and the heatmap reflects it.
