About this course
This course explains surveillance camera systems from the basics up to setting up a complete system. It starts with an introduction, then the components of the system, the factors for choosing cameras and their specifications, then lens specifications and additional lens options. After that you learn connection methods and connection devices, display monitors, storage media, ways of supplying electric power, and connecting to the internet to view the cameras remotely. The course then moves to analytic systems and video analysis systems, and integrated systems, with a downloadable workbook. It suits technicians, engineers and anyone who wants to install surveillance cameras for their home or business or enter this field, and no previous experience is needed because the explanation starts from the components. By the end you will be able to choose suitable cameras and lenses, decide on the connection, storage and power setup, and understand how to design a complete surveillance system and connect it to the internet. The explanation is practical and gradual, and it links each component to its role inside the system so you see the full picture.
Expected outcomes
- Ability to design integrated surveillance systems that meet client needs.
- Selecting appropriate cameras and lenses for each work environment efficiently.
- Understanding connection methods to ensure stability and performance of surveillance systems.
- Setting up image analysis systems to enhance surveillance performance.

- Course IntroductionIntroduces the surveillance camera systems course from scratch, explaining that CCTV is part of low-current systems, surveying those systems and the importance of cameras for people and companies.6:41
- System Components - surveillance ComponentGives a brief history of cameras, then divides surveillance system components into essential and secondary ones, explaining that missing essentials breaks the system while monitors, analytics and storage are additions.11:10
- Camera Selection Factors - camera parameterExplains factors in choosing a camera, starting with its shapes such as bullet, hidden and ceiling panoramic, then indoor versus outdoor models, explosion-proof housing, and the IP rating for water and dust resistance.7:34
- Lens SpecificationsExplains camera lens specifications, such as light sensitivity in lux, focal length and lens types, the difference between optical and digital zoom, and the iris aperture.22:38
- Additional Lens SpecificationsExplains extra camera features such as night vision, Backlight Compensation, license plate recognition cameras, and image noise with its signal-to-noise ratio.15:09
- Connection MethodsExplains how cameras are connected and how cables affect image quality: coaxial RG59, RG6 and RG11 with BNC connectors, network cable types, fiber optics, and wireless cameras.14:07
- Connecting DevicesExplains the devices that connect cameras together: DVR, NVR, PC capture cards and switches, their ports for internet, audio and display, and how the number of supported cameras can be increased.14:11
- MonitorsExplains how to choose monitors for a surveillance system: resolution matching the cameras such as Full HD and Ultra HD, screen size and cameras per screen, commercial versus consumer monitors, and setting up the control room.7:09
- StorageExplains storage in surveillance systems, internal and external, RAID, factors affecting required capacity such as resolution, camera count, recording modes and video compression, and how to calculate storage space.14:32
- Power Supply Connection MethodsExplains ways to power a camera system: voltage adapters and ampere calculation with a safety margin, power cables, power over Ethernet with PoE injectors, and backup batteries.7:23
- Internet ConnectionExplains ways to connect a camera system to the internet for remote viewing: a static IP, Dynamic DNS, manufacturer cloud servers and mobile apps, with advice to choose a trusted brand and raise internet speed.6:26
- Analytical SystemsExplains analytics in surveillance cameras: telling people from vehicles, detecting tampering or blocked views, abandoned or removed objects, tracking moving subjects, and linking this to alarms.6:31
- Integrated SystemsExplains integrating surveillance cameras with other systems, such as early warning, face-recognition attendance, license plate logging, thermal detection and security agency databases, then recaps the course.5:22
