Security Systems

• 26 hrs lectures
• 26 hrs laboratories

The goal of the course is to provide students with a good insight into the branch of security systems.
A student who completes the course will be able to:
• explain the principles of the functioning of intruder alarm systems (IAS) and their detectors,
• explain the principles of the functioning of fire alarm systems (FAS) and their detectors,
• explain the principles of the functioning of closed-circuit television systems,
• explain the principles of the functioning of access control systems,
• explain the principles of the functioning of electronic payment systems,
• operate common security systems,
• design a simple intruder alarm system.

No special knowledge is required.
