LENSEC has launched a series of training courses online covering Perspective VMS® product features, user certifications, partner sales techniques, technical certifications, and advance administrator operations. Training specialists at LENSEC are developing classes for partners that cover many course tracks for users and partners.
The initial course available is a Basic User Certification covering product introduction of the Perspective VMS® software. The user course track is designed to present general and advanced product information for customer end-users. The course track begins with introductory information in the first course, providing an introduction to the modules and key navigational components.
The course track then progresses to the Advanced User Certification, providing course material on system architecture, advanced features, video archive extractions, user and group management, and more. The advanced courses have pre-requisite courses that must be completed, building a level of knowledge as you go through the course track.
PVMS Administrator Certification details configuration of the software. End-User administrators can set up the software to customize the experience for the client user. The course covers the configuration of maps, cameras and stores, server setup, and custom administration information.
The PVMS Design Administrator Certification covers advanced software design techniques for admins wanting to make the most of the software. This course track explains external map design, configuration of workflows, and access control integration. These topics are not needed by all administrators but could be useful for administrators working with some advanced features.
LENSEC Security Integration VAR Partners often will be involved in the installation and technical maintenance of Perspective VMS® systems. The PVMS Online Training Academy offers a course track for partners as well.
Many times, the partner technician will be involved in setting up the PVMS system as part of their security deployment on behalf of their customers. The course track covers partner information progressing from a basic sales certification to a technical certification for installers and designers.
In the PVMS Basic Sales Certification, partner representatives will receive an overview demonstration of the software. This demo is designed to provide sales staff with basic knowledge of PVMS and give them the needed information to sell the product to prospective end-users.
Our LENSEC Training Specialists have included some history on the company and evolution of PVMS that helps to provide a depth of understanding for prospective customers. This entry-level partner course covers value propositions that sales professionals may leverage with their prospects. Finally, this training class covers ordering logistics, so VAR partners know how to obtain software licenses for Perspective VMS®.
In the PVMS Advanced Sales Certification, partner representatives will take a deep dive into PVMS and LENSEC values. This course covers advanced sales techniques and requires course attendants to take the pre-requisite sales and user basic certification classes.
The PVMS Installer Technical Certification covers information relevant to the security integration technician. We detail software installation for Perspective VMS® and SQL database. The class also covers software upgrade information and licensing.
The PVMS Designer Technical Certification is more advanced, providing detailed information about configuring archive settings, setting up schedules, and system settings. The pre-requisites are the design administrator certification and the installer technical certification classes.
The Engineer Technical Certification is the highest technical certification for Perspective VMS®. This class covers Active Directory, pass-through authentication, configuration and design for video analytics, and other complex details of the software. This certification is the highest technical achievement available in the PVMS Online Training Academy.
The PVMS Online Training Academy can be accessed either from a computer or a mobile device. Trainees need to plan to have access to Perspective VMS® at the time they are going through the training courses. Access to PVMS is available from the demo running in Houston, TX at LENSEC Headquarters or from a local installation deployed by the trainee at their site.
Viewing the training on a mobile device and have PVMS available on the PC browser is recommended. As an alternative, having the training open in one browser tab and PVMS open in another browser tab is suitable. When trainees register for the PVMS Online Training Academy, our training specialists give the trainee access to our Houston demo with purposefully assigned permissions relevant to training.
The online training academy can be accessed via the PVMS Training Site Link. New users will want to register to receive login information for the PVMS Online Training Academy and a PVMS Demo login. LENSEC Chief Product Officer, Jeff Kellick, provides basic training academy information in this introductory video. This video and a link for the PVMS Online Training Academy is available on the LENSEC training page.
