Foreword
This document (EN 50132-7:2012) has been prepared by CLC/TC 79 "Alarm systems".
The following dates are fixed:
• latest date by which this document has
(dop) 2013-06-18
to be implemented at national level by
publication of an identical national
standard or by endorsement
• latest date by which the national
(dow) 2015-06-18
standards conflicting with this
document have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 50132-7:1996.
In comparison to EN 50132-7:1996 major changes have been made to the document due to technical
innovation in the field of video surveillance: the shift from analogue to digital, the general improvement of
image quality, new CCTV standards and a new test target methodology. EN 50132-7:1996 needed a major
review and additions.
Following subclauses of the old standard have been revised:
EN 50132-7:1996 EN 50132-7:2012
Subclause & Title Subclauses
5.1 Purpose of the operational requirement 5.2
6.1.1 Automation of the following functions should be considered: 5.4.2
6.2 Alarm response 5.4.3

7.5 Lens selection 6.5
7.6 Recommended object sizes 6.7
7.8 Evaluation of scene and illumination 6.9

The other chapters of EN 50132-7:1996 were completely rewritten.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CENELEC [and/or CEN] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

1 Scope
This European Standard gives recommendations and requirements for the selection, planning, installation,
commissioning, maintaining and testing of CCTV systems comprising of image capture device(s),
interconnection(s) and image handling device(s), for use in security applications.
The objectives of this standard are to:
a) provide a framework to assist customers, installers and users in establishing their requirements,
b) assist specifiers and users in determining the appropriate equipment required for a given application,
c) provide means of evaluating objectively the performance of the CCTV system.
