What is BS EN 62676-2-3 - IP interoperability implementation based on Web services about?
BS EN 62676-2-3 discusses video surveillance systems for use in security applications. BS EN 62676-2-3 defines procedures for communication between network video
clients and video transmitter devices based on Web Services. 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 device management, real-time streaming of audio and video, event handling, Pan, Tilt and Zoom (PTZ) control, video analytics as well as control, search and replay of recordings.
The goal of BS EN 62676-2-3 is to realize a fully interoperable network video implementation comprised of products from different network video vendors. BS EN 62676-2-3 describes the network video model, interfaces, data types and data exchange patterns. BS EN 62676-2-3 reuses existing relevant standards where available, and introduces new specifications only where necessary to support the specific requirements for network video surveillance.
Who is BS EN 62676-2-3 - IP interoperability implementation based on Web services for?
BS EN 62676-2-3 on video surveillance systems is useful for:
- Video surveillance systems manufacturers
- Safety department
- Quality control department
- Engineers
- Government organizations
Why should you use BS EN 62676-2-3 - IP interoperability implementation based on Web services?
The term Web services is the name of a standardized method of integrating applications using open, platform independent Web Services standards such as XML, SOAP 1.2 and WSDL1.1 over an IP network. XML is used as the data description syntax, SOAP is used for message transfer and WSDL is used for describing the services.
BS EN 62676-2-3 is based on network video use cases covering both local and wide area network scenarios. The specification starts from a core set of interface functions for configuration and operation of network video devices by defining their server side interfaces. The set of network video devices includes Network Video Transmitter (NVT), Network Video Display (NVD), Network Video Storage (NVS) and Network Video Analytics (NVA). The framework is designed to be extended and enhanced in future versions.
The framework covers procedures from the network video device deployment and the
configuration phase to the real time streaming phase for different network video scenarios.
BS EN 62676-2-3 covers device discovery, device configuration, events, PTZ control, video analytics and real time streaming functionality for live video, as well as search, replay and recording management functionality for recorded video.
