CCTV & Security

AI Plan Scanner for Security Systems

Security installs mean reading across architectural, electrical and specialist security drawings at once. PlanScanAI stitches them together — cameras, readers, sensors, cabling — into a single, exportable schedule.

How PlanScanAI helps

Security drawings fragment fast. Camera positions on one sheet, cable containment on another, door schedules on a third. PlanScanAI reads all of them together and gives you a unified view of every device you’ll need to install, test and commission.

Choose ‘CCTV & Security’ as your trade and run a Guided Scan targeting camera types, access-control doors, intruder detection devices or perimeter systems. Get compliance-ready documentation straight out of the AI.

What PlanScanAI extracts from security drawings

Optimised for UK security conventions, BS 9263 and SSAIB/NSI-aligned design practice.

  • CCTV cameras — dome, bullet, PTZ, thermal, fisheye with mounting type
  • NVR/DVR cabinets with channel counts and storage ratings
  • Access control readers — prox, smart card, biometric, keypad
  • Electric locks — maglocks, strikes, deadlocks with fail-safe/fail-secure notes
  • Door position switches, REX buttons and break-glass units
  • Intruder alarm zones and control panel locations
