The CCTV Surveillance System is located within the Analysis tab of the Fuzor App Menu. The Alt +C hotkey opens the CCTV App. Use it to plan out how and where to place your security cameras to make sure that you have full coverage of a building. This system allows you to look through the perspective of the security cameras you have placed. You can specify the type of camera using the drop down menus on the top. A camera can either be in color or black and white mode.

The Place By Click button allows you to select a place for a camera to appear.

The Enter CCTV button opens the CCTV menu.

The Display CCTV Frustums check box toggles whether the camera view bounds are shown in the 3D view.

The Save button saves your current camera scheme.

The Load button opens a file browser for you to select a saved camera scheme.

The CCTV Menu allows you to select different camera views and look around through them as if you were monitoring your building from security cameras. From this menu it is easy to tell if there are any blind spots in your setup. Additionally, any cameras that were specified as black and white will appear this way in this view. While in this menu hold down the right mouse button to pan the camera around to see the full view range of the camera you are viewing. To see the perspective of another camera simply select it in the CCTV camera list. You can also edit the Chip Size and Focal Length of the camera for more precise simulation of your systems. Double click the camera name in the CCTV list to rename it. You can find the current camera in the 3D view by clicking the go to camera button.

For some buildings certain regulations must me followed pertaining to the number of steps between certain workstations. For example, in a hospital there needs to be a minimum number of steps between a nurse station and all associated patient rooms.

The Step Counter App is located in the Analysis tab of the Fuzor App Menu. The Alt + Apostrophe hotkey opens the Step Counter App. The Step Counter App can be dragged around the Fuzor Window. For more information see Workspace Management. In this menu you can set the Stride Size which will specify a distance to measure steps by and set the speed of your avatar. To test out the number of steps drop your avatar in the space you wish to measure and walk around with the avatar. As you walk it will count the number of steps. Use the Reset button to reset both the Steps Taken and the Distance Traveled

The View Analysis App is located in the Analysis tab of the Fuzor App Menu. A view analysis includes in depth information on what objects may be visible from a given view. This is a great way to use Fuzor to assess which views may be more valuable. This is a tool that could be used by a hotel to price rooms or an office building to price office space. The algorithm generates a report that can be viewed in a web browser.

To add an object as a window for view analysis simply click on the View Analysis row in the Element Properties Overlay with your window selected. This adds the selected object to the View Analysis report.

Once all of your objects are added click the View Analysis App in the Analysis Tab of the More Options Menu. This opens a file browser for you to save an html file that displays the information collected in the analysis.

Each object added to the analysis will generate a separate report that contains indexing information Id, Level, Room Name, Room Number. It will also analyze what can be seen from that window.

The View Analysis will generate two images. The left image is a quick real time render. The right image is the view striped of materials and shadows that is flat color and easier for the algorithm to understand. Values will be organized by RGB color and given a percentage based on the amount of screen space that is covered by the particular color or material.
