What is BS EN 62676-1-2 – Performance requirements for video transmission about?
BS EN 62676-1-2 introduces general requirements on video transmission. BS EN 62676-1-2 covers the general requirements for video transmissions on performance, security and conformance to basic IP connectivity, based on available, well-known, international standards. The aim of BS EN 62676-1-2 is to define the minimum performance requirements on video transmission for security applications in IP networks.
Who is BS EN 62676-1-2 - Performance requirements for video transmission for?
BS EN 62676-1-2 on video surveillance system is useful for:
- Video surveillance systems manufacturers
- Safety department
- Quality control department
- Engineers
- Government organizations
Why should you use BS EN 62676-1-2 - Performance requirements for video transmission?
The purpose of the transmission system in a Video Surveillance System (VSS) installation is to provide reliable transmission of video signals between the different types of VSS equipment in
security, safety and monitoring applications. BS EN 62676-1-2 provides guidelines for network architecture are given, how these requirements can be fulfilled. BS EN 62676-1-2 define requirements on basic IP connectivity of video transmission devices to be used in security applications. If a video transmission device is used in security, certain basic requirements apply. First of all a basic understanding of IP connectivity needs to be introduced which requests the device to be compliant to fundamental network protocols. These could be requirements which may be applied to all IP security devices even beyond IP video. For this reason requirements are introduced in a second step for compliance to basic streaming protocols, used BS EN 62676-1-2 for video streaming and stream control.
