Is it really free to list products? Are there any hidden costs?

Yes — completely free. There are no listing fees, no monthly charges, and no commission on sales. CCTV Design Tool is a software product for installers; listing manufacturer products is a service we provide to improve the tool's usefulness. Your listing is permanent and free, regardless of how many products or models you add.

What product categories do you support?

We support all equipment categories used in security installations: IP cameras (fixed, PTZ, fisheye, panoramic), NVRs and DVRs, PoE switches, access control (controllers, readers, door strikes), routers and firewalls, Wi-Fi access points, IP intercoms and video door stations, alarm and detection systems (panels, PIR detectors, sirens), surveillance monitors and displays, UPS and power supplies, security towers, and any other security-related device. If your category is not listed, contact us — if installers use it on a job, we will add it.

What information do I need to provide to get listed?

Just your brand name and your website URL, or any product file you have — a spreadsheet, PDF datasheet, or CSV export. Our team collects and structures the product data; you do not need to prepare anything specific or fill in a form.

How long does it take to get listed in the database?

New brands are live within 48 hours of first contact on average. Our record is 40 minutes from first message to live listing.

How do security installers find my products in the tool?

When a security installer or integrator designs a surveillance system in CCTV Design Tool, they search the device database by category, brand, resolution, or other specifications. Your products appear in those filtered results. The installer adds them to their project, and your model name and specifications appear on the bill of materials (BOM) and client proposal they generate.

Can I add new models or update existing listings later?

Yes. Contact us at any time to add new product models, update specifications for existing products, or remove discontinued models. The listing is ongoing and maintained.

Do I need to create an account to get my products listed?

No. You do not need an account in CCTV Design Tool to have your products listed. Simply contact us with your brand details and we handle everything. An account is only required if you want to use the design tool yourself as an installer.

Which countries do your installers work in?

CCTV Design Tool is used by security professionals globally, with active users in the UK, US, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. The product database is accessible to all users regardless of region.
