Online Technical Training Added to Arecont Vision University

Arecont Vision will now provide an online portal for reseller partner education, responding to the demand for the company’s popular Channel Partner Certification Programs (CPCP).

Arecont Vision has developed an online learning center to make educational courses available on demand. The program, CPCP TEC, consists of online product training and tips to help systems integrators install Arecont Vision multi-megapixel cameras more easily. CPCP TEC is one component of the company’s Channel Partner Certification Program, including general certification and advanced certification courses held regionally as one-day training sessions.

“This exciting new portal further demonstrates Arecont Vision’s educational leadership in the security industry. The CPCP TEC courses provide another way for Arecont Vision to support the needs of technicians installing our cameras,” said Jason Schimpf, Director of Partner Relations, Arecont Vision. “Through a series of short video clips technicians can view lessons on the proper installation, configuration and servicing of our megapixel cameras. Since the courses are delivered via the web, we will continue to add new content to enable our certified partners to meet their ongoing education needs.”

Lessons in CPCP TEC are 5-10 minutes in length and are broken into segments for easy comprehension. Topics include:

• Setup and Installation of each camera family.

• Camera web settings tutorial.

• Setting a custom exposure reference.

• Camera “Troubleshooting 101.”

• Updating camera firmware.

CPCP TEC training is free of charge. For more information or to register for courses, please click here. Web-based General and Advanced CPCP courses will also be added to Arecont Vision University in the near future.

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
