Additional training includes the legal implications of CCTV systems and assessment of property for placement of CCTV systems.

The cost of CCTV training varies between training organizations; for example, the CCTV security training program from VIT costs $406.85, whereas the 14-course CCTV training program from Security CEU costs $350, both 2010 rates.
