Discount Security Cameras Opens New Customer Training Facility

Discount Security Cameras (DSC) announced the opening of its new customer training facility, a 1,000-square-foot training room containing the latest in audio visual training technology.

The facility can accommodate up to 16 students at a time with a lot of table space for hands-on learning. Students can get expert training on the latest CCTV and card access products available from DSC.

“For years we have had customers asking to come to our location to get professional training on our products. Now we have a state-of-the-art facility where we can host the training,"said Gary Bibeau, sales director of Discount Security Cameras. “Nothing equals face-to-face meetings and hands-on training to learn something new from top to bottom.”

Training topics will include specifying the best security products for the application, installing the products most effectively, and administrating the software for products like digital video recorders and card access panels. Standard training curricula has been designed for the different product lines, however, customers may custom design a curriculum that meets their specific needs. The training facility also will be used for in-house training when employees need to be educated on newly released products.

“Since the training facility is at the same location as our existing offices and warehouse, we can pull in other resources as necessary. For example, we can pull in one of the technical support experts to go over a topic in more detail if necessary or we can get other cameras out of the warehouse for demonstration purposes,” said Bibeau.

The company offers professional security cameras, security camera systems and video surveillance systems for business and home owners.

    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.
