Video surveillance systems for use in security applications. System requirements. General | Status: Current

1 Scope This part of IEC 62676 specifies the minimum requirements and gives recommendations for Video Surveillance Systems (VSS), so far called CCTV, installed for security applications. This Standard specifies the minimum performance requirements and functional requirements to be agreed on between customer, law-enforcement where applicable and supplier in the operational requirement, but does not include requirements for design, planning, installation, testing, operation or maintenance. This standard excludes installation of remotely monitored detector activated VSSs. This IEC Standard also applies to VSS sharing means of detection, triggering, interconnection, control, communication and power supplies with other applications. The operation of a VSS is not be adversely influenced by other applications. Requirements are specified for VSScomponents where the relevant environment is classified. This classification describes the environment in which the VSScomponent may be expected to operate as designed. When the requirements of the four environmental classes are inadequate, due to the extreme conditions experienced in certain geographic locations, special national conditions may be applied (see Annex A).
