Learn to design real access control, CCTV, and intrusion detection systems — camera design, video analytics, biometrics, network infrastructure, PoE budgeting, storage sizing, and cyber-physical integration.
21 modules and 5 complete real-project case studies, with worked calculations, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
The layered security model and risk assessment basics.
Camera types, field of view/resolution, and coverage strategy.
Motion/line-crossing/object detection and edge vs. server processing.
Readers, controllers, credentials, and access levels/schedules.
Sensor types, zone configuration, and false-alarm reduction.
Perimeter detection technologies and CPTED principles.
Biometric modalities and false accept/reject rate tradeoffs.
Pre-registration, check-in, badging, and watchlist screening.
Credential lifecycle and integration with HR/access control.
IP security system network design and segmentation.
Power over Ethernet standards and budget calculation.
Video storage architecture and capacity calculation.
Device floor plans, riser diagrams, and coordination.
Device mounting, cable pathway planning, and outdoor practices.
Functional testing, credential testing, and acceptance sign-off.
Cybersecurity exposure and hardening for IP-based security systems.
Real diagnostic scenarios covering common real security system problems.
A multi-building campus access control and camera coverage design.
A layered data center design with man-trap two-factor access control.
A K-12 single point of entry and visitor screening design.
A POS-integrated video analytics deployment for loss prevention.
A large-perimeter detection technology selection and design.
12 real project templates — a device schedule, camera coverage plan checklist, access control matrix, PoE power budget calculation sheet, storage capacity calculation sheet, riser diagram checklist, cybersecurity hardening checklist, commissioning test report, RFI template, punch list, an as-built documentation checklist, and an O&M manual outline. Available for download from Module 20 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
