Hi Rebco, I am stationed in Lebanon for now, so for me the best thing is online training but I will, in the near future, attend the official one with certification. I want to find one whose certificate is recognized internationally, Europe and USA.

Hey Rebco, I am working now for 2 years on CCTV and didn't go on any training except when installer were doing work I was supervising and learning also. I know the basics and I can hook up the system myself and choose the equipment but I want to learn more detailed things about each items that can be used in CCTV + Access Control. I was searching and I found STAM, NAAA, Nicet etc. and I am just looking for something that could be compared to certification like Microsoft in IT, which is my field actually.

I was wondering what is linear CCD sensor? What is the difference between normal one and linear? Today is the first time I came accross this. Thank you, Tomislav

Dear All, I have installed in my work place CCTV system with 1/3 Sony cameras and I have Standalone DVR but the quality is really bad, it the people are little bit far always you can not recognize their face. Is there any way that I can improve that? especially during the night.. Thank you, Tomislav

Thank you very much for a reply's. I contacted the DVR manufacturer and they send the new firmware for my DVR. Now the recording is much, much better when I want to record from DVR to USB. As far as the cameras, I think maybe I am too demanding and expecting too much, I don’t know but I will leave for now, it is not bed but it is not very good also. Frank, I will also try for my next project the Avigilon networked video encoder and I will test it to see.

Yes Soundy, this is the one, I have to say I am a bit disappointed because to take the 1 -2 h footage from the DVR (front USB) it takes 5-6 hours...that is really bad and most of the time it gets stuck so I have to repeat. It is better to take 30 minutes few times. Wolf thanks a lot for info, in my current company I had to find contractors who did an installation of CCTV system. Problem was that we had few installations so we were all the time adding additional cameras and sometimes I was not there to supervise so I have a bit mess. We also have (addition to DVR) a PC based system with 16 channels (2 cards) as well, and I noticed that each company had different clue of how to put in the connectors and pull the wires (near the electrical cables which degrades the quality as well). Do you guys have any good company to have CCTV trainings or even online videos. I am kind of new but still have some experience, basic at least.

Thanks Soundy, I have a PM 16 channel DVR PMR 16, I am not sure which brand it is also I will for sure check the storage as well.

Thanks for all comments Wolf, Soundy and Thomas . The problem with using better equipment is/was in budget so I am stuck with what I have but when I need to pull out some image with more details I am stuck. I am not able to provide them to my organization due to low resolution. I tried to download VF Pro but when they send me the user and pass it didn't work. I will try to contact them again. Wolf did you try it? I had to have 1 month recording and I think the cameras are the main issue here that is also one reason why the resolution is not good I tried to increase it but I do not achieve the recording that I need. Also I started with CCTV a year ago so I still have a long way to go.

Dear All, thanks for your reply but I gave up for now. I have one another question? Is there is a software which can change the image and make it much better, that it can also magnify the details in that image. It is a professional software but I can not find it anywhere? Many people say it is not possible but I am sure there is something like this. Also I heard that it is used by military or governments. Do you know maybe anything about it? Thanks a lot, Tomislav
