Videoüberwachungsanlagen für Sicherungsanwendungen - Teil 1-2: Systemanforderungen - Allgemeine Anforderungen an die Videoübertragung
Systèmes de video surveillance appliqués à la sécurité - Part 1-2: Exigences générales concernant la video transmission
La CEI 62676-1-2:2013 décrit les exigences générales pour la vidéotransmission. La présente norme couvre les exigences générales pour les vidéotransmissions relatives à la performance, la sécurité et la conformité à la connectivité IP de base, fondées sur les normes internationales existantes bien connues.
Video nadzorni sistemi za varnostne aplikacije - 1-2. del: Prenos videa - Splošne zahteve (IEC 62676-1-2:2013)
Standard EN-IEC 62676-1-2 uvaja splošne zahteve v zvezi s prenosom videa. Ta standard zajema splošne zahteve za video prenose glede zmogljivosti, varnosti in skladnosti z osnovno povezljivostjo IP na podlagi razpoložljivih in dobro poznanih mednarodnih standardov. Točki 4 in 5 tega standarda določata minimalne zahteve za zmogljivost prenosa videa za varnostne aplikacije v omrežjih IP. Zahteve za časovno načrtovanje, kakovost in razpoložljivost nadzornih aplikacij so stroge ter določene v zadnjem oddelku tega standarda. Podane so smernice o izpolnjevanju teh zahtev za omrežno arhitekturo. Točka 6 in nadaljnje točke tega standarda določajo zahteve za osnovno povezljivost IP naprav za prenos videa, ki se uporabljajo v varnostnih aplikacijah. Če se naprava za prenos videa uporablja za varovanje, veljajo nekatere osnovne zahteve. Uvesti je treba predvsem osnovna načela povezljivosti IP, ki zahtevajo, da je naprava skladna s temeljnimi omrežnimi protokoli. To so lahko zahteve, ki se morda uporabljajo za vse varnostne naprave IP, ne le za video IP. Zato se v drugem koraku določijo zahteve za skladnost z osnovnimi pretočnimi protokoli, ki se v tem standardu uporabljajo za pretakanje videa in nadzor pretoka. Ker varnostne aplikacije zahtevajo visoko razpoložljivost in zanesljivost, morajo biti zajeti splošni načini za prenos dogodkov v zvezi s stanjem in nadzorom kakovosti videa. Ti dogodki so določeni v splošnih zahtevah za načrtovanje dogodkov in upravljanje omrežnih naprav. Pri varnosti sta pravilno vzdrževanje in nastavitev ključnega pomena za delovanje naprave za prenos videa. Določitev lokacije pretočnih naprav in njihovih zmogljivosti je osnovna zahteva, ki je opisana v razdelku »odkrivanje in opis naprav«.

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.

INTRODUCTION
The IEC Technical Committee 79 in charge of alarm and electronic security systems together
with many governmental organisations, test houses and equipment manufacturers have
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 (to be published)
Each part has its own clauses on scope, references, definitions and requirements.
This IEC 62676-1 series consists of 2 subparts, numbered parts 1-1 and 1-2 respectively:
IEC 62676-1-1, System requirements – General
IEC 62676-1-2, System requirements – Performance requirements for video transmission
The second subpart of this IEC 62676-1 series applies to video transmission. The purpose of
the transmission system in a Video Surveillance System (VSS) installation is to provide
reliable transmission of video signals between the different types of VSS equipment in
security, safety and monitoring applications.
Today VSS reside in security networks using IT infrastructure, equipment and connections
within the protected site itself.

VIDEO SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS
FOR USE IN SECURITY APPLICATIONS –
Part 1-2: System requirements –
Performance requirements for video transmission
1 Scope
This part of IEC 62676 introduces general requirements on video transmission. This standard
covers the general requirements for video transmissions on performance, security and
conformance to basic IP connectivity, based on available, well-known, international standards.
Clauses 4 and 5 of this standard define the minimum performance requirements on video
transmission for security applications in IP networks. In surveillance applications the
requirements on timing, quality and availability are strict and defined in the last section of this
standard. Guidelines for network architecture are given, how these requirements can be
fulfilled.
Clause 6 and the next clauses of this standard define requirements on basic IP connectivity of
video transmission devices to be used in security applications. If a video transmission device
is used in security, certain basic requirements apply. First of all a basic understanding of IP
connectivity needs to be introduced which requests the device to be compliant to fundamental
network protocols. These could be requirements which may be applied to all IP security
devices even beyond IP video. For this reason requirements are introduced in a second step
for compliance to basic streaming protocols, used in this standard for video streaming and
stream control. Since security applications need high availability and reliability, general
means for the transmission of the video status and health check events have to be covered.
These are defined in general requirements on eventing and network device management. In
security proper maintenance and setup is essential for the functioning of the video
transmission device. Locating streaming devices and their capabilities is a basic requirement
and covered in ´device discovery and description´.

3 Terms, definitions and abbreviations
For the purposes of this document, the following terms, definitions and abbreviations apply.
3.1 Terms and definitions
3.1.1
adaptive jitter buffering
queuing of packets in switched networks exposed to unwanted variations in the
communications signal to ensure the continuous video transmission over a network supported
by the 'Adaptive' ability to adjust the size of the jitter buffer based on the measured jitter in
the network
EXAMPLE: If the jitter increases, the buffer becomes larger and can store more packets; if the jitter decreases, the
buffer becomes smaller and stores fewer packets.
3.1.2
advanced encryption standard
NIST encryption standard, also known as Rijndael, specified as unclassified, publicly-
disclosed, symmetric encryption algorithm with a fixed block size of 128 bits and a key size of
128, 192 or 256 bits according to the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication
3.1.3
American Standard Code for Information Interchange
de-facto world-wide standard for the code numbers used by computers to represent all the
upper and lower-case characters
3.1.4
