CCTV System Design and Integration with AutoCAD

Planning a security system requires absolute precision, from camera placement to cabling pathways. This written course teaches you how to translate physical security requirements into detailed, professional technical drawings using AutoCAD. You will transition from understanding basic security concepts to drafting comprehensive, multi-floor CCTV system layouts. Through clear explanations and structured drafting exercises, you will learn how to calculate camera fields of view, select the right hardware specifications, and document entire security networks to meet real-world installation standards. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational CCTV terminology, camera types, and modern IP network requirements. - Draft precise camera layout plans and coverage zones using AutoCAD drafting tools. - Configure multi-floor surveillance schematics and optimize camera placement for maximum coverage. - Design communication cabling pathways and power-over-Ethernet (PoE) infrastructure layouts. - Apply modern industry standards like DORI (Detect, Observe, Recognize, Identify) to your CAD designs. - Generate professional documentation, legend sheets, and system schematics ready for installation teams. The course begins with core surveillance concepts and hardware selection before guiding you through step-by-step drafting principles, layering standards, and system schematics in AutoCAD. This course is designed for beginners, security technicians, and CAD drafters looking to specialize in security systems, with no prior design experience required.
