Security Systems

BPC-ZSY FEKT BPC-ZSY Acad. year 2022/2023 Winter semester 5 credits

Current academic year

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.

Progress assessment

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.

Teaching methods and criteria

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.

Controlled instruction

Laboratory exercises are obligatory.
