Plan, price, and install low-voltage systems from one drawing.
CCTV, access control, fire alarm, intrusion. Markup, BOM, and punch list on one drawing.
Design
Plan it on the floorplan.
- Drag-and-drop device library for CCTV, access control, fire alarm, and intrusion, plus a 12-icon network and data set for IT closets, switches, racks, patch panels, KVM, and fiber distribution
- Real-time field-of-view cones with overlap shading and per-substrate opacity tuning
- Multisensor cameras with four independently editable cones; the 2026-06-12 update drops them at 70 degrees by default so the wedges have visible gaps, and you can delete an individual cone if you only need three of the four
- Dual-lens camera icon for the increasingly common bodies with two lenses pointing different directions
- 180-degree panoramic coverage
- Smart door groups (CR-only, CR + reader, CR + strike, CR + maglock)
- Custom hardware: define your own SKUs with manufacturer, part number, color, and 8 shape options
- Auto-numbered device labels (C1, C2, CR1, FACP-1) that update as you place AND auto-renumber when you delete one. No manual renumbering, ever. Same behavior on text callouts. The fire-alarm side of the trade gets this in their tools; most work-design tools don't
Multi-system coverage from one tool, with no switching apps between CCTV and fire.
Measurement
Calibrate the plan. Measure cable. Move on.
- Calibration tool: drop a known distance (door width, hallway, scale bar) and the editor learns the scale. One calibration per plan; replace it any time
- Wire run tool: tap to place vertices along the cable path. Live per-segment and running totals in real feet or meters
- Cable type per run (CAT6, CAT6a, CAT5e, fiber single-mode and multi-mode, coax RG59 and RG6, speaker pairs, alarm 22/4, power 14/2 and 12/2, plus Other for custom)
- Drag any waypoint to nudge the route. Grab a midpoint to splice a new bend in. Delete a vertex you no longer want. No more redrawing a run to fix one corner
- Tap Done to finish a run on iPad (floating button at the bottom of the canvas). Double tap the canvas as a secondary gesture. Enter still works on desktop
- Cable schedule rollup on the BOM PDF and CSV: total feet per cable type, plus a per-run line item with name, type, and length
Estimating cable becomes a click instead of a tape measure. Bluebeam doesn't know what cable is. System Surveyor doesn't draw it in feet.
Field tools
For techs counting devices in the field.
- Rapid-fire placement: tap the sticky toggle or hold Z and drop 30 devices in a minute
- Quick Count tally tool with six color buckets, page-scoped counts, and expected-target reconciliation. Never exports. Just for you to validate before you commit
- Status markers: drop a colored ring around an existing device on a customer's flattened PDF and track Planned through Approved without redrawing
- Marquee multi-select with group move, delete, and bulk property edit
- Snap-to-angle on shapes; snap-to-grid for clean alignment
- Keyboard shortcut help overlay (?) for every tool
The Quick Count and Status Marker tools are tech-on-the-ground features Bluebeam never built.
Bill of materials
Price it as you draw.
- Bill of materials auto-generates as you place devices
- Manufacturer and part number tracked per line
- Labor hours per device type with your shop's hourly rate
- Profit margin calculator (cost / sell price / margin %)
- Per-project overrides on hourly rate, margin %, tax rate, permit fees
- Custom line items for wire, conduit, subcontractor work
- NAC loop section with wire length between fire devices
- Cable schedule section with total feet per cable type plus per-run line items, pulled from the wire run tool
- Two PDF modes: internal (with costs) and customer-facing (clean)
- CSV export for purchase orders and accounting
Labor hours and margin built in, not just parts.

Workflow & sales
Track every device from quote to as-built.
- Three workflow modes: Sales Proposal, Site Survey, New Install
- One-click mode conversion: a won Sales Proposal becomes a New Install with statuses re-mapped
- New Install statuses: Planned, Wired, Installed, Tested, Approved
- Site Survey statuses: In Place, To Be Replaced, To Be Upgraded, To Be Removed, Proposed
- Sales Proposal statuses: Proposed, Existing, Customer Approved, Customer Declined, Won, Lost
- Status color rings travel with the device on the canvas and the export
- Per-device documentation: IDF, switch, port, MAC, IP address
- Auto-numbered punch list with text callouts; renumbers on delete
- Sales pipeline per project: Draft, Proposal, Won, In Progress, Invoiced, Lost
- Dashboard rolls up open proposals, pending installs, and invoiced this month
The same drawing follows the job from sales pitch to commissioned install.
Systems
The whole job, not just the cameras.
CCTV
Domes, bullets, PTZ, multisensor, 180° panoramic, generic, custom
Access control
Card readers, REX motion, door contacts, electric strikes, magnetic locks, push-buttons, automatic openers
Fire alarm
NAC loops with EOL resistors, horn-strobes, strobes, smoke detectors, pull stations, FACP panels
Intrusion
Burg panels, motion sensors, door contacts, glass break, keypads
Network and data
Data jacks (RJ-45), fiber jacks, patch panels, switches, IDF racks, ceiling and wall WAPs, VoIP phones, PoE injectors, cable trays
Electrical
Duplex, quad, GFCI, USB, floor, and 240V receptacles, single-pole, 3-way, 4-way, dimmer, and occupancy switches, service and sub panels, junction boxes, recessed lighting
Audio / Video
Displays, projectors and screens, ceiling and in-wall speakers, subwoofers, ceiling mics, volume controls, AV racks, amplifiers, surround receivers, DSP processors, matrix switches, touch panels, video-conference cameras
Automation
Lighting keypads, dimmer and load modules, automation processors, motorized shades, shade motors, thermostats, occupancy and daylight sensors, wireless gateways, video intercoms. Brand-agnostic (Crestron, Lutron, Control4)
Every system you install is first-class, not bolt-on.
Team and customers
Your crew, your customers, on every project.
- Account roster: add your crew once, assign them from a picker on every project. No more emailing invites for your own team
- Five built-in positions (Owner, Manager, Project Manager, Technician, Contractor) with permissions sized to the role
- Skills matrix per team member: which systems can they install, which can they program (CCTV, access, fire, intrusion, network, audio). Filter the roster to find a programmer when a job calls for one
- Certifications per team member: NICET levels, BICSI, manufacturer training, license numbers, with expiration tracking and an at-a-glance status pill (Valid, Expiring soon, Expired)
- Project guests for sub-contractors and customer contacts: invite by email with view-only or edit access, scoped to that one project. External folks never clutter your company roster
- Customer to Site to Contact hierarchy: one customer carries multiple sites, multiple contacts per site. The second job at the same address takes a few clicks instead of retyping
- Address autocomplete on customer, site, and company profile forms: type the street, pick from suggestions, city / state / ZIP fill in automatically
- Roster names everywhere: "edited by John" instead of "edited by flawedporcelain+47@gmail.com"
Team management without the per-seat trap that competitors use to gate it.
Blank-canvas drawing
Don't have a floor plan? Draw one.
- Start a new project with a blank canvas at Tabloid, Letter, or custom size, landscape or portrait. The Blank Canvas button on any project opens the same size picker
- Wall tool with node-graph snapping for clean corner reuse. Tap Done on the floating banner when you're finished, or hit Enter on desktop
- Cut openings into walls: doors, double doors, windows, and overhead/garage doors
- Drop devices on the sketch and they behave like any other markup: BOM, schedule, export all work the same way
- Light grid background so dimensions look intentional, not freehand
Residential and small-commercial jobs where the only plan is a tape measure and a pencil.
Project view
Run your shop, not just your drawings.
- Tabbed project pages: Plan, Docs and notes, BOM, and Team are separate tabs with shareable URLs. Sticky header keeps the project name and tab bar visible as you scroll
- BOM History: generated BOM PDFs live in their own view so the Documents area stays clean for your uploaded cut sheets and reference docs
- Activity feed: who edited which plan, what they added, modified, or removed, when
- Device matrix per project: editable inline rows, filter by system and plan, status pill, CSV export
- Demo template auto-seeded on first login so a new account has something to click through
- "Make my own copy" clones the demo into an editable project in one tap
- Five-tour in-product walkthrough (dashboard, project, BOM, business, editor); re-launch from Help
- Duplicate Project: won a similar job? Clone the last one and rename
- Soft-delete with Trash and 30-day restore. Permanent delete is a separate confirmation
- Project progress chip on dashboard tiles, computed from your device-status mix
Most LV tools stop at the drawing. This one keeps the device matrix, the demo, the soft-delete, and the progress chip on the same page.
