2358 - Introduction to CCTV on Ships

This course provides a comprehensive overview of Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) systems tailored specifically for maritime environments. Designed as the visual backbone of modern ship safety and surveillance, CCTV systems enable real-time monitoring, continuous recording, and robust onboard security management. Learners will explore the foundational working principles, core and supporting components, marine-grade requirements, and recording management modes that allow these systems to operate reliably under extreme sea conditions.

The course covers strategic camera placement across critical shipboard zones, essential operational benefits, routine maintenance and inspection protocols, and regulatory compliance standards—including classification society approvals and ISPS code alignment. Additionally, the curriculum addresses the vital role of CCTV footage during emergency response and post-incident investigations, while providing an objective assessment of system limitations and future technological advancements, such as AI-driven surveillance.
