if you just want a graphical map to show your clients the positioning of the cameras you could use a program like Microsoft Visio

Use a tablet instead of a laptop, and draw a diagram of the building, and the camera position, with the stylus, and use lines to show the "view". Wide pieshape lines denotes wideangle view, and a thin pieshape for narrow view lenses.

 

You can email them the diagram with the quote, and product specs.

Visio is the standard for most companies. However I use Excel for most of my network diagrams, physical layouts etc. The advantage is you can do calulation on the side, and anyone else you deal with doesn't need Visio to view it.
