Access control & alarms

Weatherproof Enclosure Planner for Verkada Devices

Compare usable cabinet sizes, lay out equipment with mounting clearances, and estimate internal temperatures from equipment heat and airflow.

Open tool

What you can check

  • Equipment fitLay out up to four devices and reserve space for a 2-gang outlet.
  • TemperatureCompare passive and fan-running estimates.
  • Installer handoffPrint the layout, clearances, and any heat results you enter.

Video surveillance & storage

RAID Storage Calculator

Start with a target usable capacity, estimate how many drives you need, and see how data, parity, and mirrors are laid out.

Open tool

What you can check

  • Drive countSize an array for your capacity target and selected drive size.
  • CapacityCompare raw and usable capacity with the space displayed by Windows.
  • Drive layoutVisualize RAID 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60.

Network infrastructure & power

PoE Switch Budget Planner

Check whether a switch can power all your cameras, intercoms, and other PoE devices at once.

Open tool

What you can check

  • Port countCompare the number of PoE devices with the available PoE ports.
  • Per-port powerCheck each device’s power requirement against the switch’s per-port capability.
  • Total PoE budgetCompare the combined load with the switch’s rated PoE budget and see how much power remains.

About aiWebDeck

Built for system design

I’ve always loved seeing what’s next around the corner.

That curiosity led me to explore what ai can do in web application development. I created aiWebDeck to showcase ai's capabilities while building practical, free-to-use design tools for integrators and engineers working in physical security.

My goal is to combine real-world industry experience with emerging technology to create tools that make everyday engineering tasks a little easier.
