Technical skills: Technical skills are the abilities and knowledge that allow you to perform tasks and complete projects. Technical skills are essential for a CCTV technician as they allow you to install, repair and maintain security systems. Technical skills can include knowledge of electrical systems, computer software and security protocols.

Communication skills: Communication skills are necessary for a CCTV technician to have, as they must be able to clearly relay information to other technicians, and managers. They must also be able to listen to and understand requests from managers.

Attention to detail: Attention to detail is the ability to notice small changes in a situation. It’s important for CCTV technicians to notice small changes in a room or area they’ve already inspected. This allows them to identify any new security threats and ensures they’ve thoroughly checked the area.

Problem-solving skills: Problem-solving skills are essential for CCTV technicians because they often encounter challenges while installing and maintaining security systems.
