Course detail

Security Systems

FEKT-BKC-ZSYAcad. year: 2022/2023

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.

Prerequisites

No special knowledge is required.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Techning methods include lectures and practical laboratories. Course is taking advantage of e-learning system. Students have to write a single project during the course.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

20 points can be obtained for fulfilling the tasks in laboratory exercises and 80 points can be obtained for the examination. The examination is a written one and it is to check whether the student is able to explain the principles of the functioning of different types of security systems.
