One-page planning tool for a smart-building or campus surveillance build: the integration map (what must reach the operator's single pane of glass — cameras, access control, intrusion, building systems, analytics); the standards to specify on each link (ONVIF Profile S/T/G for video, A/C/D for access, OSDP with Secure Channel for readers, BACnet for building systems, Profile M for metadata); the unified-platform vs joined-best-of-breed decision; the multi-tenant partition + RBAC plan; the campus

Fora Soft Video Engineering Handbook
This checklist maps every link a smart-building surveillance build has to reach the operator's single pane of glass, with the standards to specify on each. Our seven-volume handbook covers the video stack under that pane: Volume 1 on camera encoding and storage bitrates, Volume 6 on detection, tracking and OCR, and Volume 7 on real-time analytics pipelines, cost per stream-hour and biometrics regulation. Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
