Time	10.30 - 12.30
Description	A high level Masterclass covering Networkable Video Design this seminar takes an in-depth look at the fastest growing area of the market. Starting with a review of the architecture the session looks into the issues around evaluating and selecting the correct hardware and software. Delivered by the leading experts in the field this seminar is a highly recommended for Security Integrators and Consultants. The 2 hour session will cover the following areas: Selecting appropriate networkable infrastructure Best practice in deploying networkable video Understanding the variables that effect performance and bandwidth The value of application software Utilising analytics and intelligent technology developments Storing and archiving images through hard disk technology Future trends and developments

Title	Networked Solutions
Start Time	10.30
Speaker	Matthew Fletcher - Product Manager
Company	Verint Systems
Description	This session will cover the underlying business drivers behind networked video then look at the lessons learned from the deployment of a 45,000 camera system. Why networking video is a long term trend with a surprisingly long history The “Big 5”  problems to avoid When it makes sense to network video and when it makes sense not to. How to plan for networked video that will not kill your network  How to use “open” software systems to reduce costs

Title	All you need to know about installing Video onto a network
Start Time	11.00
Speaker	Julian Inman - AD Group Training Manager
Company	AD Group
Description	You will start with a basic introduction to how Video-over-IP works and progress on to learning about evaluating cameras, recording considerations, design, configuration and implementation issues. The session will cover all the compression types and how to select the best type for the application. The session will also explore bandwidth issues and storage considerations. A strategy for the successful deployment of DVR’s on a network will be given. Network administrators rightly guard their network bandwidth. We will highlight how to provide a network-friendly CCTV system by explaining the benefits of Edge-of-Network recording and how data bandwidth can be managed effectively. Client and server bandwidth limiting and TransCoding technologies can further empower IT administrators in effective network management. Different compression methods will be compared and advice given as to how to use each to best effect and in which circumstances. The successful convergence of legacy analogue and IP technologies the NetVu Connected way will also be demonstrated.

Title	Mega Trends in IP Video
Start Time	11.30
Speaker	Eric Fullerton - Chief Sales and Marketing Officer
Company	Milestone Systems
Description	The surveillance industry will be digitalized and IP Video is the catalyst. This evolution is accelerating these years bringing much stronger intelligence into video surveillance. Further to this we will see a digital integration with a whole new breed of IP based safety and management systems.  The shift from analogue to digital video Intelligence is being integrated in video surveillance  Video surveillance becomes a cornerstone in the intelligent building  Major drivers in the industry

Title	Critical Factors for Surveillance Storage Systems
Time	12.00
Speaker	Alistair McLeod - Managing Director
Company	Veracity UK
Description	We show how hard disk technology is central to surveillance but often given little consideration. We demonstrate why the IP Video market is driven by increasing image resolution, recording rates and archive periods. We tackle the thorny issue of how storage systems are specified in enterprise projects, where evidential storage is critically important, and detail common misconceptions. We provide an overview of RAID systems and show why commonly specified RAID5 often produces exactly the opposite of what was desired. We look at new surveillance-specific hard disks, practical evidential transport solutions and briefly at the future of solid-state storage. Current and future storage issues for IP Video surveillance, including evidential data transport and mega-pixel IP camera storage requirements. Some figures for real-world hard disk reliability – what the manufacturers don’t tell you. Exactly why RAID5 is totally unsuited for surveillance recording, and an overview of other storage approaches better suited for reliable storage of evidence. The pros and cons of solid-state storage versus hard disk storage, and how this is relevant to IP Video systems.
