What does ELV mean?
ELV stands for Extra-Low Voltage. It covers the building systems that run on safe, low voltages (below 50 V AC or 120 V DC) rather than mains power.
Depending on where you work, the same systems are also called auxiliary systems, low-voltage (LV) systems, low-current systems, or special systems. They all mean the same thing, and this academy covers them all.

New Technician Foundation
Start here. Site safety, reading drawings and specifications, and structured cabling: the foundation every ELV technician needs before specialising.
ELV Systems Technician
The core skill set for a building low-voltage technician: cabling to standard, CCTV, fire detection and alarm, and auxiliary security systems.
Network & Security Integrator
Build the network first, then the security systems that run on it: cabling, Ruijie switching and wireless, IP CCTV, and access control.
Featured courses
Electrical Safety & Working at Height
The safety foundation every ELV technician needs before going on site: electrical hazards and safe isolation, batteries and stored energy, ladders, towers and MEWPs, permits, PPE, and common site hazards such as asbestos and laser light.
CCTV System Design & Installation
A practical, end-to-end course on video surveillance, IP and analog: choosing cameras and lenses to meet an operational requirement, powering and networking them, installing and fault-finding coax and HD-over-coax systems, sizing recording storage, and commissioning a secure, maintainable system.
Uniview (UNV) CCTV Systems
Product training for our main CCTV platform. Learn how to install UNV cameras with the right brackets and junction boxes, and the Uniview IP and analog range (cameras, NVRs, and XVRs), the imaging and storage technologies behind it (LightHunter, ColorHunter, Tri-Guard, Ultra 265 / U-Code 2.0, UBS), and how to deploy, search, share, and maintain a UNV system with EZTools, UniTools Pro, EZCloud, UniEase, EZStation, and UNV Guard.
