Design layout and camera requirements

[Kimco]

I was checking out this tool (IPVM Designer / Calculator), which is pretty awesome, I like how you can select the camera and modify distance, width, etc.

What would be neat would be something that suggested cameras based on your needs.

Does anyone know of or have suggestions on how to find a camera based on the requirements for the location?
