Verified site map
Cameras placed on a georeferenced site plan with true bearing and field of view — not approximate pins. Positions come from project drawings, GPS survey, or the switch port a camera hangs on.
CCTV DOCUMENTATION & GDPR EVIDENCE
Every camera. Where it is, what it sees, who can watch.
Most sites don't know how many cameras they run. SightView builds one verified record — position, field of view, retention, access — and keeps it current.
The records never match the wall
A camera estate grows one project at a time. Each contractor leaves a different spreadsheet, a drawing that was never updated, and a password nobody wrote down.
Then the regulator asks a simple question — how long do you keep the footage, and who can watch it — and the answer takes three weeks of guessing.

What SightView does
Building interiors
Click any building and step inside. Floor plans for every level, cameras placed where they physically are.
Every camera, every fact
IP, MAC, model, serial, switch and port, resolution, bitrate, recorder channel. One record per camera, filterable in a second.
Live reference images
A still from each camera, so anyone can see exactly what it covers without opening the surveillance client.
GDPR view
Filter by the things a regulator asks about: cameras reading number plates, cameras covering sensitive areas, cameras monitoring employees under labour law, footage held on more than one device, cameras recording nowhere at all.
Placement mode
Click a camera into a floor plan, drag to set its direction, confirm. Export the result and it becomes part of the record.
Portable by design
Source data stays in a plain spreadsheet. If SightView disappeared tomorrow, the record would still be readable and usable. One-time licence, no subscription, no lock-in.
Live view
Watch any camera from the same map you use to document it. No separate client, no separate login.
Recorded playback
Scrub back through footage from the camera card. Find the incident without learning a second piece of software.
Access register
Who holds credentials to which recorder, reviewed on a schedule instead of reconstructed after the fact.
How it works
Survey
We read what's actually on the network — every camera, switch, recorder — and reconcile it against whatever records exist. The gaps found here are usually the point.
Place
Cameras go onto the site plan and into the floor plans, with real bearings. Project drawings, GPS, and switch topology all feed the same map.
Maintain
New camera, new still, changed retention — the record updates in place. It's a working tool, not a document that ages.
Who it's for
Industrial sites
Large perimeters, many buildings, cameras installed across a decade of separate projects.
Data protection officers
The evidence a DPIA needs, in a form that can be handed over.
IT administrators
One place that answers "which switch, which port, which recorder" without opening four systems.
