Network Engineer

CCTV / IP Camera Network Engineer

Your primary responsibility will be to resolve RTSP instability, optimize camera performance, and ensure a reliable CCTV monitoring infrastructure.

Key Responsibilities:

1. RTSP & Video Stream Stability

• Troubleshoot RTSP stream drops, jitter, latency, and decoding errors.

• Implement solutions like RTSP over TCP, buffering, and network tuning.

2. IP Camera Configuration & Optimization

• Configure CCTV cameras (Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, Reolink, ONVIF cameras).

• Update firmware, manage camera settings, and ensure optimal video quality.

• Set up multiple streams (main/sub-stream) based on use cases.

3. Network Analysis & Troubleshooting

• Diagnose packet loss, network congestion, and switch-level issues.

• Use tools like ping, traceroute, mtr, wireshark, iperf, switch diagnostics.

• Configure VLANs, routing, and QoS for CCTV networks.

• Ensure stable PoE delivery and cable health (CAT6, proper crimping).

4. Hardware & Infrastructure Management

• Manage PoE switches, NVRs, routers, and network cabling and set up multi-location CCTV networks with reliable connectivity.

Required Skills:

Networking Skills

• Strong understanding of TCP/IP, DHCP, static IPs, subnets.

• Knowledge of PoE switches, Gigabit networks, VLANs, routing, STP.

• Ability to diagnose packet loss, network jitter, and bandwidth issues.

Video & Streaming Expertise

• Strong understanding of RTSP, RTP, RTCP.

• Knowledge of codecs: H.264, H.265, baseline/main/high profiles.

• Experience with bitrate control, CBR vs VBR, GOP/keyframe tuning.

Tools & Software Knowledge

• FFmpeg, GStreamer, VLC, ONVIF Device Manager.

• Wireshark, iperf, ping/mtr, switch diagnostics.

• Linux (basic commands, system monitoring).

CCTV-Specific Experience

• Experience configuring Hikvision, Dahua, CP Plus, Reolink, Uniview, etc.

• Familiarity with NVRs, VMS systems, multi-camera deployments.

• Ability to interpret camera logs and diagnose firmware issues.

Optional but Valuable Skills

• Python/OpenCV/OpenRTSP experience.

• Experience with AI/CV video pipelines.

• Experience with remote multi-location CCTV deployments

• Knowledge of cloud-based video ingest (RTMP, WebRTC, SRT).
