The publication in September 2010 of EN 50132-1:2010 - System requirements finally saw the completion of a full set of Standards for CCTV systems; some ten years after the first parts of the EN 50132 - Alarm systems. CCTV surveillance systems for use in security applications series were first published.
The CENELEC working group currently responsible for development of the standard is working on revisions to EN 50132-5:2001 - Alarm systems. CCTV surveillance systems for use in security applications - Video transmission, are being divided into three parts:-
· EN 50132-5-1. Video Transmission Requirements
· EN 50132-5-2. IP Video Transmission Protocols
· EN 50132-5-3. Analogue & Digital Video Interfaces
Publication for these revised standards is scheduled for late 2012. However, it is believed that responsibility for CCTV standards is to be passed to IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission), who are also responsible for the development of Access Control standards.
BS EN 50132-7:1996 covers application guidelines. The above standards are supported by a raft of related standards. Further information of which can be found at www.ssaib.org or from the BSI.
