Description

This unit will examine the security technology of closed circuit television (CCTV). It will identify, define and explain the scientific principles, technologies, design, integration and application of CCTV. Analysis of current advances in technology is applied, including digital imaging, multiplexing and video motion detection.

Prerequisite Rule

Students must pass 1 units from SCY2111

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this unit students should be able to:

1. Analyse the strengths and weaknesses of CCTV video surveillance.
2. Apply an understanding of electronic CCTV video surveillance to the design of a strategy for the design, application, management and operation of security risks to which a facility may be exposed.
3. Define and explain the principles and applications of CCTV video surveillance.
4. Demonstrate a comprehensive overview of security policy and procedures when applied to the CCTV surveillance of a facility.
5. Examine the implications for type and extent of CCTV video surveillance in relation to the risk.
6. Identify the theories, concepts and principles underlying the applications of security practices and devices in the area of electronic security technology, especially CCTV and imaging systems.
7. Plan and recommend an appropriate CCTV video surveillance systems for hypothetical facilities.
