Security Systems
BPC-ZSY FEKT BPC-ZSY Acad. year 2023/2024 Winter semester 5 credits
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.

Learning objectives
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.
