CCTV System Planning

Course Supplier: CNET Telephone Number: 0121 326 2219 Cost: £550

Description:
­

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 systems that are practical, achievable and affordable. The course is a mix of classroom theory and practical exercises.
