Course Content

Introduction to Electronic Security Systems
An overview of modern security technologies, their evolution, and their role in protecting physical and digital assets. Covers the basic categories: access control, intrusion detection, video surveillance, and integrated systems.

Principles of Physical Security
Explains various security system types including burglar alarms, fire detection, gas leak detectors, and environmental sensors. Highlights their use cases and integration points in facilities.

Principles of Physical Security
Covers key concepts like deterrence, detection, delay, and response. Focuses on perimeter security, locks, barriers, and layered security approaches in buildings and campuses.

Access Control Systems Overview
Introduces access control concepts, including purpose, system types (standalone vs. networked), and basic components like controllers, readers, locks, and credentials.

Authentication Methods (Cards, PINs, Biometrics, Mobile Credentials)
Explores how users are authenticated using various methods, comparing their security, usability, and reliability across different environments.

Access Control System Architecture and Components
Describes the system layout, including door controllers, control panels, software interfaces, and communication between devices in centralized or distributed setups.

IP-Based Access Control Systems and Smart Locks
Focuses on modern, networked access control solutions using TCP/IP and Wi-Fi. Discusses smart locks, cloud management, mobile access, and remote admin features.

Time and Attendance Integration with Access Control
Explains how access control systems double as attendance tools, using logs and analytics for employee tracking and workforce management.

Surveillance Systems Overview (CCTV and IP Cameras)
Introduces surveillance technology, including camera types, recording systems, and how visual monitoring enhances security operations.

Types of Cameras and Their Applications (Fixed, PTZ, Thermal, etc.)
Compares different camera types and their roles: fixed for entry points, PTZ for large areas, thermal for low-light, and panoramic for wide coverage.

Video Management Systems (VMS) and NVR/DVR Configurations
Covers recording systems and software used to manage video feeds, playback, event tagging, and storage — essential for evidence gathering and monitoring.

Networking for Surveillance and Access Control Systems
Explains how IP networking enables communication between devices. Covers concepts like PoE, VLANs, IP addressing, and bandwidth requirements for video.

Alarm and Intrusion Detection Systems (Motion, Door, Window Sensors)
Outlines how sensors detect unauthorized access or motion, trigger alarms, and communicate with central monitoring stations or mobile devices.

System Integration: Security + Fire + Building Automation
Explores integration of security systems with fire alarms, HVAC, lighting, and BMS for smarter and more efficient facility management.

Power and Backup Considerations (UPS, Solar, PoE)
Discusses ensuring reliability of systems during outages, using uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), power over Ethernet (PoE), and solar backup options.

Wiring, Cabling, and Installation Best Practices
Covers standards for low-voltage cabling, structured wiring, cable management, labeling, and physical installation for longevity and serviceability.

Cloud-based Surveillance and Remote Monitoring
Examines how cloud platforms enable video storage, analytics, and remote system control. Discusses benefits and security considerations of cloud-based solutions.

Cybersecurity for Security Systems
Emphasizes protecting security infrastructure from hacking, unauthorized access, and data breaches. Discusses firewalls, encryption, and firmware updates.

Legal and Ethical Considerations in Surveillance and Access Control
Highlights laws and regulations regarding surveillance (e.g., GDPR, workplace monitoring), privacy rights, consent, and best ethical practices.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance Procedures
Provides guidelines for routine checks, firmware updates, log monitoring, and diagnosing common issues in access control and surveillance systems.
