CCTV System Programming

Overview:

Introduction:

This training program provides participants with in-depth knowledge of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) systems, focusing on the core principles, configurations, and management strategies without requiring hands-on technical work. The program is designed to build a strong foundational understanding of how CCTV systems operate, their components, applications, and best practices for effective planning and system design to support surveillance and security goals.

Program Objectives:

At the end of this program, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the fundamental components and structure of CCTV systems.

  • Analyze different types of CCTV cameras and their appropriate uses.

  • Interpret system diagrams and design considerations.

  • Gain insight into system configuration methods and integration options.

  • Recognize common operational issues and theoretical approaches to troubleshooting.

  • Identify essential security, privacy, and performance considerations in CCTV systems.

Targeted Audience:

  • Security and surveillance supervisors.

  • Facility managers and security coordinators.

  • IT professionals involved in surveillance planning.

  • Engineers and project planners are responsible for system design.

  • Technical consultants and support staff in the security field.
