CCTV + IP Networks Bundle

Both courses in one purchase: CCTV System Fundamentals and IP Networks Fundamentals for Security Engineers. 158 lessons in total, because modern surveillance runs on networks and the two subjects are hard to separate on site.

Lessons	158 video lessons (66 CCTV + 92 IP Networks)
Duration	Approximately 15 hours
Level	Beginner — no prior experience needed
Access	30 days from enrolment
Format	On-demand video, learn at your own pace
Price	€119

Why these two together

IP cameras are network devices — addressing, PoE and VLANs decide whether a system works
A large share of CCTV faults are network faults, not camera faults
Storage and bandwidth calculations depend on understanding both sides
Remote access, cybersecurity and firmware hygiene sit squarely in networking
Buying the two separately costs more than the bundle

Frequently asked questions

Can I buy the courses separately?

Yes. Both are available on their own. The bundle costs less than buying them individually.

Do I need networking experience?

No. The IP Networks course starts from what a network is and assumes nothing.

How long do I have access?

30 days from enrolment, covering both courses.

Is the content manufacturer-specific?

No. Both courses are brand-agnostic and apply to any manufacturer and any country.

Which should I start with?

Most people start with CCTV and dip into networking when it comes up. Either order works.
