Lesson 1Configuration and commissioning checklist: IP assign, NTP, firmware, name labeling, time-lapse testThis bit lists ordered tweak and go-live checks, IP gives, VLANs, NTP, firmware, camera names, time-lapse and record tests, for steady, trackable settings all through.
Assigning IPs, VLANs, and subnetsConfiguring NTP, time zones, and DSTStandardizing camera names and groupsUpdating firmware and saving backupsRunning time-lapse and recording testsLesson 2Client handover and documentation package: user credentials, network diagrams, SOPs, and quick troubleshooting guideThis bit describes prepping full client handoff pack, user logins, net drawings, SOPs, quick fix guides, train records, so client runs and backs system safe.
Creating user and admin credential listsDelivering network and topology diagramsDrafting SOPs for daily operationsProviding quick troubleshooting guidesRecording training and handover sign-offLesson 3Functional verification tests: view angles, motion detection zones, low-light performance, and fps checksThis bit focuses on work check tests per camera, view fields, focus, motion zones, low-light work, frame speed, keep checks to prove system hits plans and legal.
Validating camera views and coverageChecking focus, zoom, and image clarityTesting motion and event detection zonesAssessing low-light and WDR behaviorVerifying fps, bitrate, and retentionLesson 4End-to-end user acceptance testing: remote smartphone access, guard room workstation, and permission checksThis bit explains full-end user okay tests, check remote phone access, guard stations, record wholeness, rights, report results for client formal okay.
Defining UAT scope and success criteriaTesting remote and mobile app accessValidating guard room workstation viewsChecking permissions and audit trailsDocumenting UAT results and sign-offLesson 5Pre-deployment checklist: equipment verification, test gear, cable tester and PoE validationThis bit shows hands-on pre-rollout list to check gear, licenses, test tools, cables, PoE space before live, cut site shocks, all key bits ready and noted.
Verifying cameras, NVRs, and accessoriesChecking licenses and feature activationsValidating test gear and cable testersConfirming PoE budget and power sourcesStaging equipment labels and asset tagsLesson 6Network and bandwidth testing: per-camera stream checks, uplink stress test, and packet loss diagnosisThis bit covers ordered net and band tests for CCTV, per-camera flow checks, uplink stress, packet loss jitter scan, read results to tweak bitrates, QoS, switch sets.
Per-camera bitrate and stream verificationRunning uplink and backhaul stress testsPacket loss, jitter, and latency analysisUsing test tools and switch diagnosticsTuning QoS, MTU, and flow controlLesson 7Preventive maintenance plan: firmware updates, physical inspection schedule, and storage health checksThis bit details building and doing ahead upkeep plan for IP video, firmware life, timed body checks, clean optics, check storage health, note finds to cut fails and down.
Defining maintenance intervals and scopeManaging firmware and security updatesPhysical inspection and cleaning checklistMonitoring disk health and SMART alertsMaintenance reporting and service recordsLesson 8Common issues and remedies: poor image quality, IR reflection, intermittent connectivity, and storage overrunThis bit explains spotting and fixing usual IP CCTV probs, soft noisy images, IR shine, shaky net links, storage floods, with ordered tests, logs, tweak fixes for steady.
