Course detail
Security Systems
FEKT-BPC-ZSYAcad. year: 2020/2021
Security systems are designed for the protection of assets of individuals and institutions. On completing the course, students will have a thorough overview of designing and operating common security systems and their functioning. Lectures are mainly dedicated to explaining the functioning of intruder alarm systems, fire alarm systems, closed-circuit television systems and access control systems. In exercises, students make experiments with common security systems and prepare projects of intruder alarm systems.
