Description

This course will teach 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 ?

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

Prerequisites

Training objectives

Master the constraints linked to compliance with the Order on technical standards for video surveillance systems

Diagnose and resolve the main video and IP failures

Define detection zones, private masks, activate self-protection

Create a plan of addressing and a recipe and installation monitoring document

Test and adjust the flow rates adapted to the application

Learn to use public domain software to test and measure flows
