Learners will design, analyze, and integrate CCTV surveillance systems using professional AutoCAD workflows. This course equips learners with the practical skills needed to create accurate camera layouts, configure multi-floor surveillance plans, and document complete CCTV system outputs aligned with real-world installation requirements.
Throughout the course, learners gain hands-on experience applying industry-standard methods for camera selection, placement optimization, communication cabling, floor-level coordination, and equipment allocation. They also learn how to produce structured output drawings that support technicians during physical installation, ensuring the design translates seamlessly from blueprint to deployment. This course is uniquely built around a real case study, guiding learners step-by-step through an entire CCTV design processβfrom foundational concepts to multi-floor integration. Instead of theoretical explanations alone, learners engage directly with AutoCAD-based CCTV layouts that mirror the complexity of residential and commercial environments. By the end of the course, learners will be able to confidently produce professional CCTV plans used in security system design, facility management, and surveillance infrastructure projects, making them industry-ready for roles in security engineering, CAD drafting, and surveillance system planning.
This module introduces learners to the core components, skills, and preparatory steps required to design a complete CCTV surveillance system using AutoCAD. Learners explore project requirements, camera arrangement strategies, and essential communication cabling principles to build a strong foundation for accurate and efficient CCTV layout planning.
