● Start with a floor plan:
The first step in the procedure is to obtain a floor plan of the location you will be surveying. The most precise portrayal of actual dimensions will be found in building floorplans, which may also disclose features or obstructions that your team wouldn’t have discovered during a site visit.
If a floor plan is unavailable, you might use a Google Maps satellite image instead. [System Surveyor] will automatically set the scale and enable you to access Google Maps right from the app. Another popular choice is to photograph a fire escape plan.

● Learn the benefits of every space:
Make sure to find out what each space is utilized for while performing a site survey to plan and install a security system. Although blueprints and site visits are essential tools, they frequently fail to address usage-related queries.
In terms of use cases, some locations (restrooms, offices, and resident halls) look simple enough. But in this situation, making more inquiries rather than assumptions is better. You can only create a complete and adequate security system (whether using campus security software or another technique) after you understand what each space in a building or campus is utilized for.
