FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as "IEC
Publication(s)"). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and
expenses arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC
Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.
9) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of
patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 62676-2-32 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 79:
Alarm and electronic security systems.
This first edition, together with IEC 60839-11-31 and IEC 62676-2-31, cancels and replaces
IEC 62676-2-3:2013.
This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 62676-2-
3:2013:
a) an export file format has been added.
The text of this International Standard is based on the following documents:
FDIS Report on voting
79/621/FDIS 79/623/RVD
Full information on the voting for the approval of this International Standard can be found in
the report on voting indicated in the above table.
This document has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
A list of all parts in the IEC 62676 series, published under the general title Video surveillance
systems for use in security applications, can be found on the IEC website.
The committee has decided that the contents of this document will remain unchanged until the
stability date indicated on the IEC website under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data related to
the specific document. At this date, the document will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,
• replaced by a revised edition, or
• amended.

4 Overview
4.1 Interfaces
This document 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.
The following functions are supported:
• recording control;
• search;
• replay control.
These functions are provided by three interrelated services:
– 12 – IEC 62676-2-32:2019 © IEC 2019
Recording control service enables a client to manage recordings, and to configure the transfer
of data from data sources to recordings. Managing recordings includes creation and deletion
of recordings and tracks. The WSDL for this service is specified in Clause B.1
Search service 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. The latter is achieved by searching for events that are included in the metadata
track recording. The WSDL for this service is specified in Clause B.2
Replay control service enables a client to play back recorded data, including video, audio and
metadata. Functions are provided to start and stop playback and to change speed and
direction of the replayed stream. It also enables a client to download data from the storage
device so that export functionality can be provided. The WSDL for this service is specified in
Clause B.3
This document also includes specification for:
• playback of recorded data;
• export file format;
• a receiver that acts as a RTSP client endpoint. The WSDL for this service is specified in
Clause B.4.
Table 1 lists the prefix and namespaces used in this specification. For interfaces defined by
this document, the respective annex is provided. Listed prefixes are not part of this document
and an implementation can use any prefix.

4.2 Storage model
The storage interfaces in this document present a logical view of the data on the storage
device. This view is completely independent of the way data might be physically stored on the
disk.
The key concept in the storage model is that of a recording. The term recording is used in this
specification to denote a container for a set of related audio, video and metadata tracks,
typically from the same data source, for example a camera. A recording could hold any
number of tracks. A track is viewed as an infinite timeline that holds data at certain times.
At a minimum, a recording is capable of holding three tracks, one for audio, one for video and
one for metadata. Some implementations of the recording service can support multiple tracks
of each type. For example, the same recording could hold two video tracks, one containing a
low-resolution or low-frame-rate stream and one containing a high-resolution or high-frame-
rate stream; see Figure 1.

Figure 1 – Storage model with tracks
It is important to note that the storage interfaces do not expose the internal storage structures
on the device. In particular, a recording is not intended to represent a single file on disk,
although, in many storage device implementations, a recording is physically stored in a series
of files. For instance, some camera implementations realise alarm recording by creating a
distinct file for each alarm that occurs. Although each file could be represented as a different
recording, the intent of the model in this document is that all these files are aggregated into a
single recording.
Within a recording the regions where data is actually recorded are represented by pairs of
events, where each pair comprises an event when recording started and an event when
recording stopped. A client can construct the logical view of the recordings by using the
FindRecordings and FindEvents methods of the search service.
If metadata is recorded, the metadata track can hold all the events generated by the data
source, see Clause 10 of IEC 60839-11-31:2016 and 6.3.8 of IEC 62676-2-31:2019. In
addition, a device also conceptually records historical events as defined by this document
(see 6.17). This includes information such as the start and end of a recorded data range. A
device can also conceptually record vendor specific historical events. Events generated by
the device are not inserted in existing metadata tracks of recordings. The FindEvents method
in the search service can find all the recorded events.
4.3 Recording control
The recording service enables a client to manage recordings, and to configure the transfer of
data from data sources to recordings. Managing recordings includes the creation and deletion
of recordings and tracks.
Recording jobs transfer data from a recording source to a recording. A recording source can
be a receiver object created with the receiver service, or it can be a media profile that
encodes data on a local device. The media profile could be used as a source on a camera
with embedded storage.
To save data to a recording, a client first creates a recording and ensures that the recording
has the necessary tracks. Then the client creates a recording job that pulls data from one or
more sources and stores the data to the tracks in the recording.
