Summary
The subject is focused on the issue of implementation of technical protection of persons and property. The individual alternatives of technical protection systems are discussed and their mode of operation are clarified. Understanding the issue of implementing technical protection creates the prerequisite for designing and implementing sophisticated security solutions.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students will understand the function of systems and elements of technical protection and their importance to realization of protection of persons and property. They can use selected fire safety equipment to solve fire safety of buildings. They are able to design the use of intrusion and hold-up alarm system in the implementation of technical protection. They can establish requirements for the continuity of the functions of technical protection systems.
