Description

This course will teach the participants how to develop customized configuration, monitoring, and control software for end-customer installations of the Ultraview Enterprise Video Platform video surveillance system. The participants will be trained in understanding the components and underlying concepts of the Ultraview Software Development Kit (SDK), its interactions with the Ultraview Video Operating System (VOS) and the Ultraview Central Configuration Server (CCS), and how to use the various software methods provided by the SDK.

This course consists of a mix of presentations and software programming & configuration exercises done by the course participants on dedicated training stations. The course starts with an introduction section based on presentations, followed by a number of course sections which each treat a different aspect of the Ultraview EVP system. In each section, we will start by briefly reviewing the related EVP system features; then we continue with a presentation of the software methods provided in the SDK to configure and control these features, and we finish with a dedicated programming exercise to be done by the student.
