We are seeking a proactive and skilled CCTV Engineer with 3 to 5 years of experience to be responsible for the end-to-end implementation and maintenance of advanced IP-based Video Surveillance Systems (VSS) and their underlying network infrastructure. This role is crucial for projects in specialized environments such as railway, critical infrastructure, or industrial sectors, and demands a strong blend of expertise in both video technology and IP networking to ensure highly reliable, secure, and optimized system performance.

Key Responsibilities

1. System Installation, Commissioning & Configuration

• Lead the installation, configuration, and commissioning of core CCTV components, including IP cameras, encoders, decoders, Network Video Recorders (NVRs), and dedicated video management servers.
• Configure and fine-tune proprietary Video Management Systems (VMS) such as Milestone, Genetec, or other industry-standard platforms.
• Integrate the CCTV system with external subsystems, including Access Control, Public Address (PA), Perimeter Intrusion Detection Systems (PIDS), or central command and control servers.
• Execute precise camera positioning, field-of-view adjustments, and lens selection to strictly meet the detailed design and operational coverage requirements.

2. Networking & IP Integration

• Configure and manage network infrastructure components (switches, routers, firewalls) dedicated to the VSS network.
• Perform IP address management, VLAN segmentation, and Quality of Service (QoS) configuration to prioritize CCTV traffic and guarantee sufficient network throughput and low latency for video streams.
• Collaborate effectively with client/internal IT and network teams to establish secure, redundant, and compliant communication paths between field devices and central monitoring/storage facilities.
• Diagnose and resolve complex network-related issues impacting video stream performance, including connectivity failures, bandwidth bottlenecks, and high latency.

3. Testing, Documentation & Handover

• Execute rigorous Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT) in accordance with approved project test procedures and client specifications.
• Conduct detailed testing for video quality, alarm/event integration, system redundancy, and failover mechanisms.
• Prepare high-quality technical documentation, including detailed testing reports, configuration logs, operational manuals, and As-Built system drawings and network diagrams.
• Facilitate the successful system handover to client operations and maintenance teams, providing necessary training and support.

4. Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Compliance

• Execute scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) and timely corrective maintenance (CM) on CCTV equipment, VMS software, and related network hardware.
• Rapidly diagnose and resolve system failures, focusing on video loss, NVR/VMS server stability, and component malfunctions.
• Coordinate with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and vendors for essential firmware updates, security patches, and hardware replacements.
• Ensure all installations and maintenance activities comply with project specifications, IT security policies, and relevant industry safety standards.

Required Skills & Qualifications

Technical Expertise

• VSS Systems: Strong practical and conceptual understanding of IP CCTV systems, video standards, compression technologies (H.264/H.265), video analytics, and various storage solutions (DAS/NAS/SAN).
• Networking: Proven working knowledge of TCP/IP stack, VLAN tagging, Power over Ethernet (PoE), fiber optic infrastructure, and network topology design principles.
• Hardware/Software: Hands-on experience with switch configuration (Cisco, HP, D-Link) and fundamental network troubleshooting tools (ping, traceroute, throughput testing).
• Operating Systems: Familiarity with Windows Server environments (for VMS hosting) and basic Linux command-line knowledge.
• Power (Advantageous): Knowledge of UPS systems and DC power requirements for field devices.
