One plan. The whole installation.
Know it works before you install it.
A floor plan should answer more than “where do the APs go?” Design every connected layer together and spot expensive mistakes early.

See every camera angle
Place Protect cameras and visualize field of view before a ladder ever comes out. Catch blind spots while they are still easy to fix.

Beyond basic vendor planners
A design tool, not a device dropper.
Plan around the building, not around a catalog. Bring every detail that determines whether an installation succeeds into one workspace.

Floor plan to field-ready
Three steps. Zero guesswork.
No specialist software to install. If you can mark up a floor plan, you can model your network.
STEP 01
Bring the building
Upload a PDF or image, set a known dimension, and add every floor.
STEP 02
Design the system
Trace wall materials, then place real APs, cameras and access devices.
STEP 03
Prove the plan
Read coverage in dBm, find weak zones and optimize placement.

Questions, answered
Before you start designing.
Is Design Nerd really free?
Yes. Use the planning tools without a credit card or trial timer. Create an account and start with your floor plan.
Is this only for UniFi?
No. Design Nerd supports UniFi, Meraki, Aruba, Ruckus, TP-Link and Fortinet. UniFi cameras and access devices can be planned alongside the network.
How are heatmaps calculated?
The RF engine uses an ITU-R P.1238-based indoor model, free-space path loss and frequency-specific attenuation for each wall.
Can I design multiple floors?
Yes. Each floor can have its own plan, scale, wall map and devices, all organized in one project.
Can you install it for me?
Yes. Our team can help with design, cabling, installation and deployment.
