Cctv companies training?

[shocksl]

Hi guys

Iam currently studying for my level 1 electric installation . Which btw I am loving.

I've always been decent with DIY. But also I have spent many years working / using computers, which is different i know. I understand software and hardware installation etc when it comes to PCs laptops etc.

I am really interested In installing CCTV cameras. Is there formal qualifications I need to do?

Is there any companies that provide training to sell their CCTV for domestic use etc?

Considering the vast majority of cctv now is poe or 12/24v I don't think you need any formal qualifications to install it. The only obstacles you may encounter is when you need to install any 230v circuits, but usually I find cctv installers avoid it be throwing in lot of extension leads.

Oh thanks mate.

I want to try and install a basic det in my house to start of with maybe 2 cams .

Can you recommend any brand ? Or any YouTube link I can watch to get familiar with doing it?

When I was installing cctv we generally used hikvision. User friendly, good quality and not horrific price. Avoid amateur brands like swann and other screwfix kits, poor quality diy stuff.

Hikvision has an average quality and they have an efficient backup service for installers and subcontractors.(at least here in Spain)

I did a course with system Q in Chesterfield and it was very good. They try and tie you into their brand but as their stuff is good that was not a problem. You have to pay for the course but you get a lot of stuff back and good discounts so the net cost is low.
