This course introduces the fundamentals of Electronic Low Voltage (ELV) systems with a focus on surveillance and access control in modern buildings. It begins with an overview of ELV systems to establish how security, communication, and monitoring systems are integrated within building infrastructure. Learners will then explore both analogue and IP-based CCTV systems, understanding their architecture, components, advantages, and appropriate use cases.
The course also covers the basics of access control systems, including identification methods, control logic, and system components used to manage and restrict entry to secure areas.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to differentiate between analogue and IP surveillance systems, select suitable technologies based on project requirements, and understand how access control systems are designed and integrated with CCTV.
What makes this course unique is its practical and comparative approach, helping learners make informed technology choices rather than just understanding concepts. It equips learners with essential skills for roles in security system design, smart buildings, and integrated infrastructure planning.
Target learners:
• Graduate engineers seeking practical knowledge in Smart Building Electrical & ELV systems.
• Design consultants and project engineers working on building and infrastructure projects.
• Commissioning, maintenance, and facility professionals involved in smart building technologies.
This module introduces the fundamentals of Extra Low Voltage (ELV) systems used in modern building infrastructure. It provides an overview of key ELV technologies such as Building Management Systems (BMS), Fire Alarm Systems, Intrusion Detection Systems, Access Control Systems, and CCTV surveillance. Learners will also understand the role of network infrastructure in enabling communication between different ELV systems. The module further covers perimeter protection and Public Address systems, highlighting how integrated ELV solutions enhance building safety, security, and operational efficiency.
