Foreword
This document (EN 50132-7:2012) has been prepared by CLC/TC 79 "Alarm systems".
The following dates are fixed:
•?
latest date by which this document has to be implemented at national level by publication of an identical national standard or by endorsement
•?
latest date by which the national standards conflicting with this document have to be withdrawn
This document supersedes EN 50132-7:19
EN 50132-7:2012 includes the following significant technical changes with respect to EN 50132-7:1996:
In comparison to EN 50132-7:1996 major changes have been made to the document due to technical innovation in the field of video surveillance: the shift from analogue to digital, the general improvement of image quality, new CCTV standards and a new test target methodology. EN 50132-7:1996 needed a major review and additions.
Following subclauses of the old standard have been revised:

1 Scope
This European Standard gives recommendations and requirements for the selection, planning, installation, commissioning, maintaining and testing of CCTV systems comprising of image capture device(s), interconnection(s) and image handling device(s), for use in security applications.
The objectives of this standard 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 CCTV system.
