CCTV with Analogue, Digital and Networking Technology

In the last few years Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) has undergone tremendous growth with the development of new technologies, products and concepts. The complex analogue CCTV has become even harder to understand with the introduction of digital compression techniques and networking. Discussions about mega-pixels, HD, digital resolution, video compression, file sizes and images per second, what a DVR and NVR can and cant do have become so common, yet only very few people have a truly in-depth understanding of these concepts. Who better to explain these topics than the author of the CCTV best seller books on CCTV, consultant, Australian Standards CCTV subcommittee chairman and the global Guru (as some refer to him) Vlado Damjanovski. With nearly 30 years of experience, Vlado will take you through the journey of making a television picture a simple and easy to understand concept. With hundreds of lectures to industry people in Europe, Russia, Asia, US, New Zealand and Australia, Vlado knows how to demistify the technology. By the end of the seminar you will have a very clear understanding of what is analogue, digital, IP and how to put a modern CCTV system together, be that analogue, digital or hybrid. The seminars are based on his latest book CCTV Networking and Digital CCTV , and in the seminars you will have the opportunity to ask questions, get clear answers and witness firsthand why Vlado Damjanovski is the CCTV Guru.

Vlado Damjanovski is an author, a lecturer and a CCTV expert, known to the Australian and international CCTV industry. He has a degree in Electronics from the University of Kiril i Metodij in Skopje (Macedonia), and has specialised in Television. His Thesis (Diploma Work) in 1982 was on CCD Cameras, 10 years before they started being widely used commercially. Vlado moved with his family to Australia in 1987, first working for TCN Channel 9, then joining the CCTV industry he soon became one of the best-known CCTV experts in the CCTV industry. Starting through his first company CCTV Labs, and now ViDi labs, he performs CCTV consultancy, system design, testing and training, both in Australia and overseas. He has also designed and commissioned a number of CCTV Systems around Australia and overseas. In 1995 he published his first book - simply called "CCTV" - which was one of the first and truly complete reference manuals in the industry. This book is now accepted and approved by many international consultants and authorities as an exceptional reference book and many refer to it as The CCTV Bible. In 1999 an updated and expanded edition was published by ButterworthHeinemann (now Elsevier). In 2005, a new edition was launched at the ISC show in Las Vegas, which included the latest trends in Digital and Networking Technology in CCTV. All these editions proved to be global best-sellers, always rating 5 stars on Amazon.com. They were translated into Russian, and now into German too. Vlado was the Editor and publisher of the international magazine CCTV focus which started with publishing in 1999. In 2008 Vlado, together with a US colleague, produced the first CCTV Certification manual for the SIA, the Security Industry of America, using their NICET certification standards. Some of the more interesting CCTV projects done by Vlado include Darling Harbour, Downing Centre Control, Sydney City, Qantas International Freight Terminal, etc. His biggest CCTV System design in Australia was done for the Star City Casino in 1997, pioneering the use of CCTV digital video recording technology where gaming disputes are sorted out immediately at the gaming tables. Another similar first off design, is his involvement in 2003 in the first full digital matrix switching system design for the Sands Casino in Macau, consisting of over 1,200 MPEG2 recorders and full video matrix switching over TCP/IP network. This was also followed by his involvement in many more large digital systems in Australia and overseas. Vlado has also been actively involved during the preparation of the new Australian CCTV standards AS 4806.1, 4806.2, 4806.3 and 4806.4, and was one of the main carriers of the shaping of the standard. He is currently the Chairman of the CCTV Standards Sub-committee, under EL 051 group.Vlado Damjanovski is a leading international expert in CCTV. One of the continuous and important activities by Vlado are conducting world-wide CCTV Seminars based on his books (http://www.cctvseminars.com). Thousands of CCTV installers, technicians, consultants, managers and users have attended his seminars and learned all about CCTV. In this age where technology is going forward leaps and bounds it is important to be in sync with all new technologies and development. Vlados experience and expertise have always been up to date with the latest issues and topics not only through his constant communications with various CCTV manufacturers and test driving their products which are published in reports and magazines, but he has also been involved hands-on in system design, programming and commissioning. This is why Vlados seminars are probably the best in the world, his teachings are 100% practical and have real life application, not just meaningless theory.

It was exactly what I was looking for. It explains perfectly all the components of a CCTV system with enough technical information. No need to be an engineer to understand it but it studies in depth each section. I always had different documents and books to seek information about a CCTV issue, now this book is the only thing I use. Roberto Frias Del Moral comment on Amazon.com The most comprehensive and complete book on CCTV there is. Incorporating the most up to date digital information also gives it more relevance. Vlado explains all aspects of CCTV with a great balance of technical information, practical examples and illustrations. Highly reccommended to CCTV installers, integrators and consultants!
