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 62676-4 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 79: Alarm
and electronic security systems.
This standard is based on EN 50132-7 (2012).
The text of this standard is based on the following documents:

A list of all the parts in the IEC 62676 series, 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 publication will remain unchanged until
the stability date indicated on the IEC web site under "http://webstore.iec.ch" in the data
related to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be
• reconfirmed,
• withdrawn,

INTRODUCTION
The IEC Technical Committee 79 in charge of alarm and electronic security systems together
with many governmental organisations, test houses and equipment manufacturers has defined
a common framework for video surveillance transmission in order to achieve interoperability
between products.
The IEC 62676 series of standards on video surveillance system is divided into 4 independent
parts:
Part 1: System requirements
Part 2: Video transmission protocols
Part 3: Analog and digital video interfaces
Part 4: Application guidelines
Each part offers its own clauses for the scope, normative references, definitions and
requirements.
The purpose of this part of IEC 62676 is to provide guidance on how to ensure that video
surveillance systems (VSS), thus far referred to as closed circuit television (CCTV), meet their
functional and performance requirements.
This part of IEC 62676 will prove useful to those responsible for establishing operational
requirements, writing specifications, selecting, installing, commissioning, using and
maintaining a VSS.
VSS, in its simplest form, is a means of providing images from security cameras and
recorders for viewing on a display via a transmission system. There is no theoretical limit to
the number of cameras and displays which may be used in a VSS installation but in practice
will be limited by the efficient combination of control and display equipment and the operator's
ability to manage the system.
The successful operation of a VSS requires the active co-operation of the user in carrying out
the recommended procedures.
Due to the wide range of VSS applications, for example security, safety, public safety,
transportation, etc. only the minimum requirements are covered in this part of IEC 62676.

VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS FOR
USE IN SECURITY APPLICATIONS –
Part 4: Application guidelines
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62676 gives recommendations and requirements for the selection, planning,
installation, commissioning, maintaining and testing video surveillance systems (VSS)
comprising of image capture device(s), interconnection(s) and image handling device(s), for
use in security applications.
The objectives of this part of IEC 62676 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 VSS.
