IEC 62676-5-1:2024

Video surveillance systems for use in security applications - Part 5-1: Data specifications and image quality performance for camera devices - Environmental test methods for image quality performance

IEC 62676-5-1:2024 defines measuring methods for performance values of video surveillance camera equipment and defines image quality tests under the given temperature and humidity environment.
This document is mainly targeting cameras with integrated lenses as the lenses are a major component that can impact the results. If the lens is selectable, the lens will be stated together with the results.

Systèmes de vidéosurveillance destinés à être utilisés dans les applications de sécurité - Partie 5-1: Spécifications des données et performances de la qualité d'image pour les dispositifs de caméra - Méthodes d'essai d'environnement pour les performances de la qualité d'image

IEC 62676-5-1:2024 est une extension de l'IEC 62676-5 qui définit les méthodes de mesure des valeurs de performances des caméras de vidéosurveillance ainsi que les essais de qualité d'image dans l'environnement de température et d'humidité donné.
Le présent document concerne principalement les caméras avec objectifs intégrés, car ces derniers constituent une composante majeure qui peut avoir un impact sur les résultats. Si l'objectif est sélectionnable, celui-ci sera intégré avec les résultats.

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) IEC draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). IEC takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent rights in
respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, IEC had not received notice of (a) patent(s), which
may be required to implement this document. How
