Axis Communications’ Academy announced its 2009 training schedule for the “Fundamentals” course and “Advanced” modules. All Axis Communications’ Academy trainers have the highest technical competence, as well as expertise on the latest network video innovations and trends, according to the company.

“Attending our Academy trainings ensures that you will receive important product knowledge and a solid education in network video, so that you can recommend and implement Axis network video solutions. Our training program provides the tools and information you need to deliver and support your customers throughout the sales cycle – from demonstration and evaluation, to implementation, operations, and continual support,” stated Axis Communications’ Web site.

 

Axis Communications’ Academy was established in 2004, and since that time has provided training for more than 7,000 people. Fundamentals and Advanced courses are only open to members of the company’s Channel Partner Program.

 

The three-day Fundamentals certification course is designed to give participants the information and training they need to successfully complete an Axis product installation. This highly interactive forum includes a mix of informative presentations and practical hands-on labs covering:

 

• Networked environments

• Advantages of network video

• Camera installation

• Video compression techniques

• Image quality

• Video management software

• Intelligent video and event management

 

The course also provides advanced training on system solutions and design. With emphasis on practical exercises, students will set up a full-scale surveillance solution. Successful completion of the Network Video and Video Solution Fundamental is a highly rewarding investment, opening the door to reaching the Solution Gold level of the Channel Partner Program.

 

AXIS Camera Station is a complete video management system for up to 50 cameras. Designed for Axis network video products, this video management software offers easy installation and setup with automatic camera discovery, multi-configuration of devices and a powerful Event Configuration Wizard. This course will give participants the skills they need to successfully deploy and manage a mid-size video surveillance system.

 

Do your customers have large analog-based installations? You can help them maximize their investment in legacy analog equipment, while still providing them with the powerful advantages of network video. With Axis network video encoders, users from different locations can simultaneously view live images from the same analog camera using a Web browser or video management software. Video encoders also enable expanded migration possibilities with the addition of network cameras to the system.
