WG 12 - TC 79/WG 12

IEC 62676-2-33:2022 specifies management systems interfaces and mechanisms for remote operational access to physical security devices such as video surveillance devices and systems. For video surveillance, the use cases focus on accessing live video and retrieving recordings. The mechanisms defined in this document are not restricted to surveillance applications, but also cover remote access to security systems and electronic access control systems. Configuration of devices and management systems is out of the scope of this document.

IEC 62676-2-31:2019 defines procedures for communication between network video clients and video transmitter devices. This new set of specifications makes it possible to build network video systems with devices and receivers from different manufacturers using common and well-defined interfaces.
These interfaces cover functions such as media and imaging configuration, real-time streaming of audio and video, pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) control as well as analytics.
The management and control interfaces defined in this document are described as web services. Annex F contains XML schema and Web Service Description Language (WSDL) definitions for the introduced network services.
This first edition, together with IEC 60839-11-31 and IEC 62676-2-32, cancels and replaces IEC 62676-2-3:2013. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 62676-2-3:2013:
a) addition of the Media2 service;
b) additional methods for the imaging service;
c) method duplicates from the device IO service have been removed;
d) both the display and analytics device service are no more included.

IEC 62676-2-32:2019 specifies the web service interface for the configuration of the recording of video, audio and metadata. Additionally, associated events are defined.
Web service usage is outside the scope of this document. Please refer to the IEC 60839‑11-31 for more information.
This first edition, together with IEC 60839-11-31 and IEC 62676-2-31, cancels and replaces IEC 62676-2-3:2013. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to IEC 62676-2-3:2013:
a) an export file format has been added.

IEC 62676-5:2018 defines recommendations and requirements for representation and measuring methods of performance values to be described in materials such as instruction manuals, brochures and specifications of video surveillance camera equipment. The first part of this document defines requirements for description of video surveillance camera specification items. The second part defines requirements for measurement methods of video surveillance camera specification items.

IEC 62676-4:2014 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:
- provide a framework to assist customers, installers and users in establishing their requirements;
- assist specifiers and users in determining the appropriate equipment required for a given application;
- provide means of evaluating objectively the performance of the VSS.
