Course Overview
This self-paced elearning course is designed for surveillance professionals who rely on photography to support investigations and operational outcomes. Rather than focusing on creative photography, this training builds tactical camera competency, ensuring learners can handle, operate, and troubleshoot their gear effectively under real-world pressure.
Through video demonstrations, hands-on scenarios, and field-tested insights, participants learn to navigate different camera systems, maintain camera readiness, and capture clear, reliable evidence in dynamic environments.
