This course gives you a solid introduction to network video surveillance. The theory is presented in a range of eLearning modules (for self-paced studies), while the hands-on exercises take place in a classroom. In the exercises you will learn how to connect and configure Axis products.
Format: blended learning (1. eLearning + 1. instructor led-training)
Length: 8 hours (eLearning) + 1 day (instructor-led classroom)
Language: English
The course contains a mix of theoretical presentations and hands-on exercises.
STEP 1. eLearning modules (prerequisite for step 2):
Explains the setup of the course, with all modules ending with a quiz.
System components: cameras, encoders, switches, routers etc. Also Power over Ethernet.
What light is and how a camera sees.
How to achieve usable images: camera placement, resolution, pixel density etc.
Factors that affect bandwidth consumption, and actions for lowering it.
SD cards and failover recording. Typical input and output devices. How analytics can be used to pinpoint specific events taking place. Thermal camera technology.
The most common types of attacks and how to mitigate them.
Basic troubleshooting, and how to reach Axis technical support.
The master quiz is a compilation of the module quizzes, including additional questions.
The main building blocks of a network.
The information contained in the name of an Axis product.
STEP 2. Classroom module (mandatory):
The one day classroom is focused on hands-on exercises, putting the online theory into practice. You’ll also learn how explore the settings on the camera’s web interface and how to manage multiple devices.
After completing all modules, participants will have gained a solid understanding of:
Professionals working with system integration and network video design.
Before attending the classroom session, you need to have completed the online self paced modules.
In order to get the most out of the training, you need to have an understanding of networks in an IP video context.
Before attending Network Video Fundamentals, we strongly recommend all students spend 30 minutes on Axis’ free online course Introduction to network technology and Axis network camera naming convention.
It would also be desirable to read the Network Video Technical Guide.
