CCTV Installation Course Pricing & Enrollment — $99 for 12 Hours of Training

Our CCTV installation course gives you practical, real-world skills at an honest price: $99 for full access, 12 hours of structured video content, 30 days to complete it. There are no subscriptions, no upsells, and no hidden fees. You pay once, you get the whole course, you work through it at your own pace, and you finish with a clear, repeatable process for installing modern CCTV systems.

Everything you need to make a decision is on this page: what is included, what $99 actually buys you, how the 30-day access window works, what happens if you do not finish in time, how enrollment works in practice, and what support you get during the course. If anything is unclear, the contact form is the fastest way to reach us — we answer within one business day.

What $99 gets you

$99 buys one enrollment in the full CCTV installation training programme. That means every published module, every downloadable reference, and 30 days of on-demand access to the entire learning area. You do not need to choose between modules, buy add-ons, or pay extra for “premium” content — there is a single tier, and it includes everything we have produced for the course.

Specifically, your enrollment includes:

• 12 hours of structured video lessons organised into focused modules covering CCTV fundamentals, HD CCTV installation, IP CCTV installation, NVR and DVR configuration, VMS basics, networking for installers, and practical troubleshooting.
• 30 days of access from the moment your enrollment is confirmed. You can watch, pause, rewind and rewatch every lesson as many times as you want during that window.
• Downloadable checklists and quick-reference guides for site surveys, cabling, DVR and NVR configuration, and post-install handover.
• Downloadable study notes for the key modules so you can revise offline or keep them as a field reference.
• Email support for course access, technical playback issues, and content questions during your 30-day window.
• Any content updates released during your 30-day window — if we publish a new lesson or revise an existing one during your access period, you get it automatically at no extra cost.

This is intentionally a fixed-price, fixed-scope product. We do not want to sell you a subscription that quietly renews, and we do not want to push you into upsells once you are inside. If you need more than 30 days, re-enrolling is straightforward and costs the same $99 — details below.

Pricing — simple and transparent

Full Course Access – $99

One-time payment. 30 days of access. No subscription.

• 12 hours of video training
• Every module, every lesson, every download
• Access for 30 days from enrollment
• Email support throughout your access window

This is the only plan for individual learners. There is no “basic” tier that locks out content, and there is no “premium” tier that costs more — everyone gets the same complete course for the same $99.

Team and business enrollments

If you are buying for three or more installers under the same company, contact us for team pricing. We apply volume discounts to multiple seats, and we can bill centrally against a single invoice or purchase order rather than putting each installer through the online checkout. Team enrollments are also typically configured with a shared start date so your installers can work through the material together.

For larger organisations — national installers, integrators, facilities companies with in-house CCTV teams — we offer business training packages with extended access windows (typically 12 months), unlimited seats within your agreed staff count, and optional live Q&A sessions with a trainer. These are always quoted individually because the needs vary so much. Use the contact page to start that conversation and we will respond with a written proposal within one business day.

Why 12 hours and 30 days?

Those two numbers are deliberate. Twelve hours is long enough to cover CCTV installation properly — from the physics of HD signals down coax through to PoE budgets, NVR configuration, VMS basics and structured troubleshooting — without padding the course with filler lectures. Shorter “CCTV courses” that run two or three hours tend to be surface-level; longer ones often pad with manufacturer-specific demos that are obsolete within a year. Twelve hours hits the point where every concept an installer actually uses gets its own focused lesson.

Thirty days is how long most motivated learners take to work through material of this depth comfortably around a full-time job. At roughly 25 minutes of video a day you finish with time to spare; even at 45 minutes a day you have days left to revisit the sections you most need. We sized the access window to match the course, not the other way round, and we kept it generous rather than tight.

If life gets in the way — a busy project week, an illness, a family situation — and you do not finish in 30 days, you can re-enroll for another 30-day window at the same $99. Your account is preserved, your progress is not lost, and you pick up where you left off. We would rather be honest about this than pretend a time-limited course works for everyone first time.

What is inside the 12 hours — module breakdown

The video content is structured into a logical progression, front-loaded with the fundamentals you need before doing anything practical, then moving into the specific technologies you will meet on site, then finishing with troubleshooting so you can handle faults confidently.

• CCTV fundamentals and system architecture (~1.5 hours): How cameras, recorders, storage and networks fit together. Analogue vs HD vs IP. Key components — cameras, lenses, power supplies, PoE switches, NVRs, DVRs, accessories. Basic coverage planning and field of view.
• HD CCTV installation (~2.5 hours): Coaxial cabling standards, connector termination, HD-TVI / HD-CVI / AHD signal formats, DVR setup, channel configuration, storage allocation, motion detection and schedule-based recording.
• IP CCTV installation (~3 hours): IP addressing for installers, PoE and PoE+ budgets, switch selection, NVR configuration, camera discovery via ONVIF, recording profiles, motion and event triggers, and secure remote access for clients.
• Networking for CCTV installers (~1.5 hours): Subnets and gateways without the IT-engineering jargon, VLANs and why CCTV traffic is segregated, bandwidth estimation, and storage calculations based on resolution, frame rate and retention.
• VMS overview (~1 hour): What professional video management software does, servers and clients, camera registration, operator roles and permissions, maps and layouts, and what to expect moving from an NVR to a VMS deployment.
• Tools, equipment and installation practice (~1 hour): Which tools a professional CCTV installer carries, how to use cable testers, PoE injectors and monitor testers, and the on-site sequence for a typical install.
• Structured troubleshooting (~1.5 hours): A repeatable fault-finding process for video loss, picture quality issues, no signal, network errors, PoE problems, recording failures and remote access issues — the stuff that pays the bills once you are a few months into the trade.

Every module ends with a short summary of the key decisions and the common mistakes to avoid, so even if you watch a lesson once you leave with a checklist you can apply.

How enrollment works — step by step

1. Click the enroll button. You will be taken to a secure checkout with the standard card and PayPal options. We never see or store your card details.
2. Complete payment. Payment clears in seconds for card transactions and within minutes for PayPal. Your 30-day access window starts the moment payment is confirmed.
3. Receive your access email. An automatic email lands in your inbox with your login details and the direct link to the learning area. If it does not arrive, check your spam folder, then contact us.
4. Log in and start the first module. The course is structured so you can either follow the lessons in order (recommended for beginners) or jump straight to the topics most relevant to your current work.
5. Work through at your own pace. Watch, pause, rewind, and rewatch. Download the reference material. Take notes. Apply what you learn on site as you go.

Team and business enrollments follow a slightly different flow because we set those up manually — usually with a brief email exchange to confirm the number of seats, the billing arrangement, and the start date — and we can turn them around within one business day of receiving a purchase order.

Frequently asked questions

Can my employer pay for this?

Yes, and many enrollments are employer-funded. We issue a proper invoice with company name, billing address, VAT/tax field, and purchase order reference where required. Let us know at enrollment and we will format the paperwork to match your employer’s accounts process. For team or business packages we can invoice in most major currencies.

Do I need my own CCTV equipment?

No — you can complete the course without any hardware. That said, having access to a basic CCTV kit (a couple of cameras, a DVR or NVR, and a small PoE switch for IP) will significantly improve how much sticks, because you can follow along with the lessons on a workbench. Many learners buy a cheap second-hand kit specifically for training purposes and then keep it as a demo rig for clients.

Is this a manufacturer-specific CCTV course?

No. We deliberately teach the principles, interfaces and workflows that apply across vendors. You will see menus and equipment from real manufacturers in the demonstrations, but the goal is to make you comfortable with any modern CCTV system — not to make you dependent on one brand. That matters because the brand you install today might not be the brand you install next year, and your training needs to transfer.

What happens if I do not finish in 30 days?

You can re-enroll for another 30-day window at the same $99. Your account is preserved, and you resume from where you left off — we do not wipe your progress. Most learners who need more than 30 days do not actually re-enroll; they finish within an extended window of a week or two. But for those who need longer, the path is straightforward.

Can I preview the course before buying?

The CCTV Hub on this site is a good indicator of the depth and tone of our training — everything there is free. If you want to see specific module content before purchasing, contact us and we can share a sample lesson where available. For team and business buyers we routinely provide demo access before any purchase order is signed.

Is this the same as a classroom CCTV course?

No. A classroom course gives you supervised hands-on practice with instructor-supplied equipment on a fixed schedule, typically costing between $800 and $2,500 for a multi-day session. Our online course is a different product: structured, self-paced knowledge that you work through around real jobs, at a fraction of the cost, with content you can return to during your 30-day window. Many learners use both — our course as the foundation and a short classroom session for hands-on validation.

Is the course available in languages other than English?

At launch, all content is in English. We have learners across North America, the UK, Ireland, Australia, India, Pakistan, Nigeria, Singapore, the UAE, and beyond — and the English-language version works for all those markets. Localised versions may follow for specific regions in the future, but we have nothing to announce yet.

Will the course work on my phone or tablet?

Yes. The learning area is fully responsive and works on any modern phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. You need a reliable internet connection for video playback, and we recommend completing at least the hands-on modules on a larger screen where the demonstrations are clearer, but you can absolutely watch on mobile — many learners do exactly that during commutes and breaks.

How soon can I start after I pay?

Immediately. Individual enrollments are automated end-to-end — payment clears, the system provisions your account, the access email goes out, and you log in. From checkout to first lesson is usually under five minutes. Team and business enrollments take one business day because we configure those manually.

Is there a free trial?

We do not offer a formal free trial, because the 14-day money-back guarantee serves the same purpose without the paperwork. You pay $99, try the full course for up to fourteen days, and if it is not right for you we refund you in full. That gives you access to the complete content rather than a limited preview — which is a better test of whether the training will actually help you.
