This British Standard gives recommendations for the design, installation, commissioning, operation and remote monitoring of detector activated CCTV systems.

This Standard is intended to provide recommendations to the following parties:

• installers on best practice for the design, installation, commissioning and operation of detector activated CCTV systems
