Description

This course teaches you how to install, configure and troubleshoot a surveillance camera using the IP protocol. You will see, among other things, the definition of an addressing plan, the tools offered by manufacturers as well as the applications allowing you to test and measure digital video image flows.

Who is this training for ?

For whom ?

Operation or maintenance managers and technicians in charge of IP camera installations and/or their maintenance.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of IP, TCP/IP networks, network architectures. Knowledge equivalent to that provided by the IP Video Surveillance course, deploying a network (ref. VID) desirable.

Training objectives

Master the prerequisites, methods and steps necessary for a VoIP installation or maintenance operation Know the main families of parameters of an IP and analog camera and the chronology of settings Know the main mandatory parameters that must be adjusted in an IP camera (strengths and limits of Onvif) Understand the improvement settings, the image, the possible customizations for day and/or night Know how to identify manufacturer software, Onvif and accessories for settings and backups Know the main causes of malfunctions in IP Video and the types of resolutions
