I. PURPOSE OF THE MANUAL DOCUMENT
The purpose of this manual document is to provide an overview and course outline for the
demand or need of the technical training on installation, configuration and maintenance of CCTV
camera system.
II. OBJECTIVE
This training course is intended for maintenance, configuration and Installation for ETREs
technical personnel’s including technicians and engineers who will be involved with installing,
configuring, maintaining and managing ETRES CCTV systems. Also through this training
session participants should build a solid working knowledge of surveillance camera. This
training will cover on how to install, design, maintain, configure and manage the CCTV system.
Both theoretical (20%) and practical (80%) means of the training is required. Greater attention is
given for practical / hands-on exercises as it will help the trainees to build experience on the
subjects.
III. LEARNING OUTCOMES
At the end of this course the trainee would be able to:
Have clear understanding about over all CCTV system components (cameras, DVRs,
TVs, Vorx and associated fiber cables, power cable, data cables, accessories etc) and
their interconnection/integrations.
Set-up & configure CCTV system.
Troubleshoot, repair & maintain CCTV system.
Set-up CCTV for remote view.
Install a CCTV system.
