DIN EN 50132-5-2:2012-11

The European Electrotechnical Standardisation Organisation for Alarm Systems together with many governmental organisations, test houses and equipment manufacturers has defined a common framework for Surveillance Video Transmission in order to achieve interoperability between products. The purpose of the transmission system in a closed circuit television (CCTV) installation is to provide reliable transmission of video signals between the different types of CCTV equipment in security, safety and monitoring applications. Today CCTV surveillance systems reside in security networks using IT infrastructure, equipment and connections within the protected site itself. This standard EN 50132-5-2 on network video ip protocol and interface definitions for video devices in surveillance applications is based on the general requirements for video transmission of EN 50132-5-1. Part 5-1 defines minimum IP connectivity requirements, basic video streaming, stream control, eventing, discovery and description functions, upon which this Part 5-2 is based. Additionally Part 5-1 establishes minimum performance requirements, including interconnection and network video devices. EN 50132-7 Application Guidelines give guidance for Video Surveillance Installations in general, but takes special care of video IP networks. Any video transmission network should be designed in accordance with these standards. With prEN 50132-5-3 a detailed standard for non IP video transmission is defined. For signal and performance requirements on analog and uncompressed digital video transmission and interfaces Part 5-3 of this standard series applies. The responsible committee is Subcommittee UK 713.1 "Gefahrenmelde- und Überwachungsanlagen" ("Alarm and surveillance systems") of the DKE (German Commission for Electrical, Electronic and Information Technologies) at DIN and VDE.
