What is BS EN 62676-4 - Application guidelines of video surveillance systems (VSS) about?
BS EN 62676 is a series of the European standard on video surveillance systems to
standardize the interface to ensure interoperability between products.
BS EN 62676-4 is the fourth part of the BS EN 62676 series of documents that give recommendations and requirements for the selection, planning, installation, commissioning, maintaining and testing of video surveillance systems (VSS) comprising of image capture device(s), interconnection(s) and image handling device(s), for use in security applications.
Who is BS EN 62676-4 - Application guidelines of video surveillance systems (VSS) for?
BS EN 62676-4 on video surveillance systems is relevant to:
- Manufacturing, banking & financial services, and transportation and retail industries
- Security systems in buildings
- Personnel of alarm and warning systems
- Broadcast television industry
Why should you use BS EN 62676-4 - Application guidelines of video surveillance systems (VSS)?
Video surveillance systems incorporate one or more video cameras on a network that sends the captured video or audio information to a particular place increasingly used for many applications like crime prevention, industrial processes monitoring and traffic management.
BS EN 62676-4 provides the general considerations for implementing a VSS to meet the customer's security surveillance requirements.
BS EN 62676-4 specifies the operational requirements specifications and their purpose and contents.
Equipment selection and performance are described in BS EN 62676-4 along with image presentation and transmission systems. Video performance characteristics and storage characteristics are outlined in BS EN 62676-4.
System installation and commissioning, final documentation and maintenance of VSS can be achieved in accordance with BS EN 62676-4.
Overall, BS EN 62676-4 provide a framework to assist customers, installers and users in establishing their requirements, assist specifiers and users in determining the appropriate equipment required for a given application and provide means of evaluating objectively the performance of the VSS.
As a result, professional video security cameras allow businesses to clearly observe what is going on both good and bad within and outside their facilities, decreasing loss, theft, and damage.
