What is BS EN IEC 62676-2-31- Live streaming and control based on web services about?
BS EN IEC 62676 is an international standard on video surveillance systems (VSS) for use in security application.
BS EN IEC 62676-2-31 is one of the parts in the multi-series of documents that defines procedures for communication between network video clients and video transmitter devices.
This new set of specifications makes it possible to build network video systems with devices and receivers from different manufacturers using common and well-defined interfaces. These interfaces cover functions such as media and imaging configuration, real-time streaming of audio and video, pan, tilt, and zoom (PTZ) control as well as for analytics.
The management and control interfaces defined in BS EN IEC 62676-2-31 are described as web services.
Who is BS EN IEC 62676-2-31- Live streaming and control based on web services for?
BS EN IEC 62676-2-31 on VSS is relevant to:
- Manufacturers of security and alarm systems
- Manufacturers of television transmitters
- VSS equipment manufacturers
- Product engineers
- Electronics industry
- Installers, integrators and maintenance companies
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62676-2-31-Live streaming and control based on web services?
Video surveillance systems are used for remote video monitoring that is generally used as a crime prevention device.
The goal of BS EN IEC 62676-2-31 is to provide a fully interoperable network video implementation comprised of products from different network video vendors.
BS EN IEC 62676-2-31 describes the network video model, interfaces, data types, and data exchange patterns and defines media streaming options and formats.
Compliance with BS EN IEC 62676-2-31 can help establish efficient and reliable communication that contributes to successful and timely mitigation of security risks.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN IEC 62676-2-31:2019 replaces IEC 62676-2-3:2013, which are withdrawn. The significant technical changes are:
- Addition of the Media service
- Additional methods for the imaging service
- Method duplicates from the device IO service have been removed
- Both the display and analytics device service are no more included
