What is BS EN 62676-2-2 - IP interoperability implementation based on HTTP and REST services about?
BS EN 62676-2-2 discusses video surveillance systems for use in security applications. BS EN 62676-2-2 specifies a compliant IP video protocol based on HTTP and REST services. Video transmission devices are often equipped with web servers that respond to HTTP requests. The HTTP response may contain XML content (for GET actions), XML response information (for SET actions), or various text/binary content (for retrieval of configuration data, etc.). REST is an approach to creating services that expose all information as resources in a uniform way. The ease of using REST is its uniform interface for operations. Since everything is represented as a resource, create, retrieve, update, and delete (CRUD) operations use the same URI. This specification leverages the features of HTTP and REST for IP video transmission. A video transmission device supporting compliance to the requirements of this standard based on HTTP and REST Services as described in BS EN 62676-2-2 is declared as compatible to ´IEC 62676-2 HTTP and REST interoperability.

- Government organizations
Why should you use BS EN 62676-2-2 - IP interoperability implementation based on HTTP and REST services?
Security and/or network management applications require the ability to change configurations and control the behaviours of IP video devices – cameras, encoders, decoders, recorders, etc. This functionality can be achieved by sending a standard HTTP(S) request to the unit. BS EN 62676-2-2 provides basic principle of this IP Interoperability that specify and define HTTP(S) application programming interfaces (APIs) for VT devices and their functionality; namely, for setting/retrieving various configurations, and controlling device behaviours. BS EN 62676-2-2 provides REST Service Model Version 1.1 that is intended to assist the IEC working groups in creating new protocols or converting contributed protocols to a standard service model that will be common to all endorsed specifications. Adherence to this service model will ensure interoperability between compliant protocols.
