CCTV and Electronic Security Systems Management

Camera systems, access control platforms and alarm monitoring are only as effective as the design brief, integration and ongoing management behind them, and load shedding adds a layer of complexity unique to South African sites. This course covers system specification, camera placement, integration between subsystems, backup power planning and the governance needed to keep electronic security systems reliable over their operating life.
