MCTC Video Surveillance

This 3-Day Online Course teaches the techniques and skills needed to shoot Surveillance Video with camcorders. Participants will need to provide their own camcorders in order to video practical exercises on Day One and Day Two. Those videos will be reviewed online by the instructors during one-on-one zoom calls.

The course will cover long-range camcorder surveillance, covert systems, how to plan a successful video surveillance and the situational awareness necessary for safe operations. Students will be exposed to state-of-the-art covert video surveillance systems. Covert audio transmitters are an important part of drug work. Participants will learn how to link the audio from those transmitters to their camcorders. This class begins with camcorder basics and is appropriate for those with little or no experience as well as participants with years of video experience.

Students will shoot video exercises on Day One and Day Two, and must load their video exercises on Box.com for review by the instructors. Those Online Review sessions will take place from 8:00AM until 10:00AM on Day Two and Day Three of the class. To successfully complete this course, participants will have to be able to demonstrate a mastery of basic skills through their videos and pass an online final exam.
