We Currently have 1 seminar posted below
Understanding Digital CCTV & Optimizing Image Quality in your CCTV Systems
We will be holding 2, one day seminars, held in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The first seminar will cover Analog Video, and the 2nd seminar will cover Digital Networking.
Both are necessary as you can not completely understand Digital unless you first fully understand Analog.
We currently do not have a date or time set, but are looking attentively for the Fall of 2008, if we do not achieve the numbers that are required for the seminar it will be attentively set for the fall of 2009.
We will be flying in the industry's foremost expert Vlado Damjanovski.
Vlado Damjanovski CCTV engineer, educator and editor of the International Magazine CCTV Focus in Australia.

Please note:
The above topic listing are based on the content of the author's book "CCTV - Digital and Networking Technologies" published by Elsevier in 2005 and they are shown for reference purposes only. Although the seminar presenter is guided by the above mentioned topics, very often certain topics are discussed as requested by the seminar attendants, i.e. they depend on the attendants level of understanding and interest.
Therefore, CCTV Labs and the seminar presenter reserve the rights to modify, exclude and include certain topics as the need arises.
Very often the seminar presenter has found that one, or two day seminars are demanding high level of concentration in order to absorb all the material explained. It is therefore possible that, although every effort is made by the presenter, not all discussions are absorbed by the attendants. For this reason it is recommended that a reminder reading or in-depth study of all the above topics, at attendants own time and pace is done by reading the book "CCTV - Digital and Networking Technologies."
For all attendants that do not have a copy of this book, CCTV Labs will offer it to all attendants at a discounted price, with the opportunity of having the author autograph the book.
All Attendants Receive:
- Certificate signed by the trainer
- Seminar presentation on CD
- All the past issues of CCTV focus magazine on CD, in PDF format; A wealth of information on various products, technologies, CCTV companies and news from around the globe.
- Various CCTV software tools: lens finders, DVR calculators, CCTV drawing icons
- Special discount on various CCTV Labs products, including autographed copy of the popular CCTV - Digital and Networking Technologies; the CCTV Labs test chart and the CCTV Labs programmable test pattern generator TPG-8.
- Lunches and coffee.
The cut off date will be 2 months in advance of the date of the seminar, so all of you that are interested please send us your information as soon as possible so we can get numbers together and bring Vlado Damjanovski here to Canada.
Why Attend?
CCTV Images of Quality often seen on various TV shows do little to enhance the perception of CCTV as an efficient tool in identifying offenders. However, considering the latest unfortunate events in the London Bombing, there is no doubt that CCTV has been extremely effective in combating crime and terrorism in public areas.
Public opinions have shifted from CCTV as an intruder of our privacy - to CCTV as a protector of our democracy and peace of mind. CCTV has finally got the real image it deserves to have - it increases the public's feeling of safety and security.
CCTV technology has undergone tremendous growth in the last couple of years, with so many new technologies, products and concepts, making it even more difficult to understand. This is even more pronounced with the latest trend to digitize CCTV and put everything on LAN and the Internet.
This is why it is important to keep the knowledge and understanding of CCTV up to date, demystify new technologies and video compressions.
There is no better person to achieve this goal than using the knowledge and experience of your own. Australian expert, recognized by the International CCTV Industry as the best you can get.
