The Path to IP Video Manufacturer Certification for End Users - Cancelled
Sunday, September 14, 8:00 am - 5:00 pm
There is a trend for end users to purchase products from integration
professionals and use their own resources for commissioning. The
certification for deploying these products has been limited to the
integrators and authorized resellers. Through a cooperative
opportunity, several primary video camera manufacturers provide
interested end users in a product commissioning certification class.
This session eliminates the need for several different programs and
increases the number of candidates for technical certification.
This cooperative certification achieves clarity of communication at all
project phases for the IP Video camera product segment.
