IP Security System Technician Course Overview
Industry sources believe that the introduction of computer based and digital technologies will give rise to a ten-fold increase in both commercial and domestic installation and maintenance requirements over the next 5 years. The growth of IP based systems which can be installed over existing infrastructure, such as Cat6 cabling and operated using the existing network, supports this view.
This course, combined provides successful participants with the skills, knowledge and qualifications to understand the principles relating to IP based security systems and ability to undertake the commissioning, testing and maintenance of a wide array of today’s security systems.
Delegates will gain a comprehensive and practical introduction to commissioning IP based CCTV and access control security systems, allowing them to enter this potentially lucrative industry.
