What is BS EN 62676‑3 - Analog and digital video interface in video surveillance systems 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 62676‑3 is the third part of the BS EN 62676 series of documents that specifies physical, electrical and software interface (non-IP) specifications of analog and digital video interface in video surveillance systems (so far called CCTV) applications.
Video interfaces are used both for connection and transmission of surveillance video, audio and control signals. Through video interfaces, video surveillance systems can be put together by connecting various components such as image capturing devices, image handling devices, etc.
BS EN 62676‑3 ensures interoperability among various video surveillance components. BS EN 62676‑3 applies strictly to Video Surveillance Systems.
BS EN 62676‑3 is based on broadcast television standards and other standards, and it defines the minimum requirements for analog and digital video interfaces to meet VSS’s requirements, interoperability and de facto practice.
Who is BS EN 62676‑3 - Analog and digital video interface in video surveillance systems for?
BS EN 62676‑3 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 62676‑3 - Analog and digital video interface in video surveillance systems?
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 62676‑3 specifies the informative general principles about analog and digital video interfaces.
Electrical interfaces that specify electrical signals (e.g., composite, HDMI) used to connect various surveillance equipment such as cameras, display equipment, video processing and control equipment is given in BS EN 62676‑3.
BS EN 62676‑3 provides the details on analog video signal transmission requirements, test conditions and performance tests.
Furthermore, BS EN 62676-3 guides you through a high-quality surveillance system to decrease risk and help prevent crime, integrate their cyber and physical security, handle physical threats, prevent financial and reputational damage, and ensure your business's safety and security.
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.
