Lesson 1Camera placement and coverage planning: entrances, reception, corridors, treatment rooms, pharmacy, parking, side passage, emergency exitsDis part go cover practical camera placement and coverage planning for common sites. You go learn how to put cameras at entrances, corridors, treatment areas, parking, and exits to reach identification, coverage, and safety goals.
Entrances, reception, and face captureCorridors, stairwells, and choke pointsTreatment rooms and sensitive areasPharmacy, safes, and high-value storageParking lots, driveways, and side passagesEmergency exits and evacuation routesLesson 2Indoor vs outdoor environmental ratings (IP, IK) and mounting considerationsDis part go focus on environmental ratings and mounting choices for strong camera work. You go learn how IP and IK ratings, temperature ranges, and mounting hardware affect durability, image steady, and long-term upkeep.
IP ratings for dust and water protectionIK ratings and vandal-resistant housingsTemperature, humidity, and enclosure choicePole, wall, and ceiling mounting optionsVibration, wind load, and image stabilityLesson 3Camera specifications: resolution, frame rate, lens focal length, IR/night vision, WDR, low-light performanceHere we go analyze key camera specs and how dem affect image quality and identification. You go learn to match resolution, frame rate, lens, IR, WDR, and low-light performance to scene risk, distance, and regulatory needs.
Pixels per foot and identification targetsChoosing frame rate for scenes and motionFixed, varifocal, and motorized zoom lensesIR illumination range and reflection issuesWDR handling of backlight and contrastLow-light sensitivity and noise trade-offsLesson 4Camera selection by location: fixed dome, turret, bullet, PTZ, and specialized cameras (varifocal, fisheye)You go learn how to choose camera types wey best fit each place and risk profile. Dis part go compare domes, turrets, bullets, PTZ, and special models, focusing on deterrence, coverage, tamper resistance, and maintenance.

You go learn secure streaming methods, user roles, authentication options, and how to strengthen remote viewing clients and mobile apps.
Encrypted streaming with TLS and SRTPVPN, jump hosts, and remote access controlRole-based access and least privilegeStrong passwords, MFA, and SSO optionsAccount lifecycle and session managementLesson 6Video encoding, bandwidth considerations, PoE vs separate power, and network design basicsHere we go look at video encoding, bandwidth, and power options wey shape network design. You go learn codec choice, bitrate control, PoE sizing, VLAN use, and how to avoid congestion and single weak points in CCTV networks.

You go learn NVR choice, RAID levels, storage calculations, overwrite policies, and monitoring of disk health and capacity.
NVR vs server-based VMS architecturesRAID levels, redundancy, and rebuild riskCalculating storage from bitrate and daysCyclic overwrite and retention tiersDisk health checks and SMART alertsLesson 8Standards and good practices for video quality, evidence-grade capture, and system documentationDis part go cover standards and best practices wey make sure CCTV video fit as legal evidence. You go learn how to document system design, check image quality, and keep consistent configuration and audit records.

Dis part go cover masking, signage, retention limits, and evidence chain-of-custody, including documentation and secure handling of exported clips.
