Surveillance Software Training Course: Learn the Brains Behind Modern Security Systems

Modern video surveillance is about more than just installing cameras — it’s about knowing how to configure, manage, and operate the powerful software that controls them. At Volta Tech School, our Surveillance Software Training Course teaches students how to work with the industry’s top Video Management Systems (VMS) and command platforms.

This course is perfect for those already working in low-voltage or IT, or anyone looking to step into the security industry with real-world, job-ready skills.

📷 What Is Surveillance Software?

Surveillance software — often called a VMS (Video Management System) — is what enables users to view, record, search, and manage video feeds from IP cameras and security systems. It’s the brain behind modern surveillance setups, used by hospitals, campuses, retail chains, airports, government facilities, and more.

Knowing how to use, set up, and support VMS platforms is a valuable skill for any security technician, integrator, or system administrator.
