What is BS EN IEC 62676-2-32- Recording control and replay of VSS about?
BS EN IEC 62676 is an international standard on video surveillance systems (VSS) for use in security application.
BS EN IEC 62676-2-32 is one of the parts in the multi-series of documents that specifies the web service interface for the configuration of the recording of video, audio, and metadata. Additionally, associated events are defined.
Web service usage is outside the scope of BS EN IEC 62676-2-32.
The goal of BS EN IEC 62676-2-32 is to provide a fully interoperable network video recording and reply implementation comprised of products from different vendors.
Who is BS EN IEC 62676-2-32- Recording control and replay of VSS for?
BS EN IEC 62676-2-32 on video surveillance systems is relevant to:
- Security and alarm system manufacturers
- VSS equipment manufacturers
- Network storage device manufacturers
- Product engineers
- Electronics industry
- Installers, integrators and maintenance companies
Why should you use BS EN IEC 62676-2-32- Recording control and replay of VSS?
Video surveillance systems are used for remote video monitoring that is generally used as a crime prevention device. However, it is vital that the various VSS components in conjunction with each other and the overall system meet necessary operational requirements.
The goal of BS EN IEC 62676-2-32 is to provide a fully interoperable network video recording and reply implementation comprised of products from different vendors.
BS EN IEC 62676-2-32 describes the network video recording model, interfaces, data types, and data exchange patterns.
BS EN IEC 62676-2-32 provides a set of interfaces that enable the support of interoperable network storage devices, such as network video recorders, digital video recorders and cameras with embedded storage. It supports the following functions:
- Recording control- enables a client to manage recordings and to configure the transfer of data from data sources to recordings.
- Search- enables a client to find information about the recordings on the storage device, for example to construct a "timeline" view, and to find data of interest within a set of recordings.
- Replay control- enables a client to play back recorded data, including video, audio and metadata
Overall, BS EN IEC 62676-2-32 helps maintain integrity of the VSS and ensure its performance is fit for purpose. An efficient VSS can ultimately contribute to successful and timely mitigation of security risks and hazards.
