LANS and CCTV over IP

Length: 2 days £775

The majority of IP CCTV systems run over a LAN (Local Area Network). Understanding how a LAN works, why adding IP cameras causes latency and the effect on the network is vital on achieving a successful CCTV installation. Bandwidth considerations and how to
measure it is discussed and taught. Determining end to end latency to improve performance and other key considerations are answered on this in depth course involving both theory and hands-on-work.
