We introduce you to the operational requirements, key performance indicators and system requirements of CCTV cameras. To become a CCTV operator, you must know how to maintain data security and protect the public and its property. We delve into the UK’s CCTV Operation Code of Practice to prepare you for the job.
The course teaches you how to operate CCTV systems to provide the training required of a CCTV operator. We then show you how to analyse hostile surveillance and emphasise the importance and dynamics of behavioural analysis. CCTV maintains its distinctive character while playing a significant role in many existing security networks. We break down such systems to help you understand how CCTV systems operate. We also explain how to install each component to provide the training you require as a CCTV operator.
A CCTV system consists of several cameras, monitoring and recording functions and activities performed in the control room. We explain how a CCTV operator can keep an eye on CCTV screens both reactively and proactively and show you how such video surveillance systems maintain safety and security. Finally, we discuss the UK’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and explain how it relates to CCTV operators. Surveillance plays an increasingly important role in protecting public safety so take advantage of this trend and sign up for this security training course to learn how to become a CCTV operator in the UK.
