Traditional CCTV systems were very specialised in nature and, as a result, tended to be expensive, difficult to manage and cumbersome. The emergence of cost-effective digital technologies, both for data storage and data transmission, has led to a rapid growth in the number of systems deployed and has opened up a wide range of opportunities to integrate security systems into existing data networks using well established technologies such as Ethernet and TCP/IP, using structured cabling as the infrastructure.

This course enables delegates to develop a customer specification and to design modern CCTV and access control systems that are practical, achievable and affordable. The course is a mix of classroom theory and practical exercises;

• Developing the operational requirement
• Defining the features required
• Defining the product types
• System and network considerations e.g. bandwidth calculations
• Practical site surveying
• Costing exercises
