Electronic Fundamentals in Security Technology (Electrical and Electronic Systems Maintenance)
About This Course
Electronics is an integral part of the security industry. In the electronic security system, the devices such as access control, surveillance cameras and intrusion sensors have at least one printed circuit board to function. The printed circuit board consists of electronic components. These electronic components are placed on a printed circuit board that connects the components electrically together through copper inter-connects.
The demand for electronics knowledge is high due to the increasing deployment of electronic security technology systems in Singapore. With a land area of little over 700 square kilometres, Singapore has strict laws and its electronic surveillance tools include more than 190,000 po-lice cameras already installed across the city with the target to more than double it to 200,000 over the next decade. There is shortage of trained electronic technicians to maintain and repair the surveillance cameras. As such, stakeholders are often finding means and ways to convert the existing pool of staff to maintain the security cameras without proper training. This is not ideal and may lead to safety issues dur-ing the maintenance.
