CCTV System Standards

4. Overview

There is no theoretical limit to the number of cameras and monitors which may be used in

a CCTV installation but, in practice, this will be limited by the efficient combination of

control and display equipment and the operators’ ability to manage the system. The

process flow chart at Appendix 1, sets out the process flow from location survey through

to commissioning and handover of the CCTV System.

5. Location Survey
5.1 The criteria above will be determined by a location survey of the site where the CCTV

system is to be installed. This location survey shall also take account of the following:

a) Risk

b) Contents

c) Building

d) Supervision levels

5.2 The location survey shall have, at least, sufficient detail to address the security

requirements of the client and shall lead to a site plan being prepared with the

optimal positioning points for cameras being indicated on the site plan. The

purpose of the location survey and site plan is to identify the best placings for

cameras, the direction of natural light, potential and actual environmental

problems.
6. System Design

6.1 The objectives of the system design stage are to determine the extent of the CCTV

system; select the appropriate equipment and to prepare a system design proposal.

The system design shall also be informed by the client’s and/or user’s requirements

as to the purpose of the camera images.

6.2 Where the objective of the CCTV system design is solely for the purposes of

observing images of persons or where this is among the objectives of the system

design there is a relationship between the operator task and the size of the target

(person) on the screen (see Appendix 2 under Level of Quality). If the target is a

person and the CCTV system has an installed limiting resolution of better than 400

tv lines, the minimum sizes of the target1 shall be: (i) for identification the target

shall represent not less than 120% of screen height. (ii) for recognition the target

shall represent not less than 50% of screen height. (iii) for detection the target shall

represent not less than 10% of the picture height. (iv) for monitoring (e.g. crowd

control) the target shall represent not less than 5% of the picture height.
Where digital CCTV technology is used and the intended target is a person or persons the

equivalent level of quality shall apply.
