Overview

This International Standard is mainly for societal security purposes and specifies a common output file format that can be extracted from the video-surveillance contents collection systems (stand-alone machines or large scale systems) by an exchangeable data storage media or through a network to allow end-users to access digital video-surveillance contents and perform their necessary processing. The means of exchange are not part of this International Standard. This common output file format relies on a combination of several technical standards that individually are not restrictive enough to provide the requested interoperability. Since video-surveillance recording often includes taking records of citizens, requirements relating to privacy, use of the records and their disposal are also considered. The definition of this standard provides all users and adopters of video surveillance technologies (for example, security service providers, public authorities, processors of video data) with a data interface profile consisting of the exchange format and the minimum technical requirements to ensure that the transmitted digital video surveillance content is compatible with the playback systems. This standard has been prepared at the international level with the involvement of the following committees: - ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11, Coding of moving pictures and audio (MPEG); - ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 1, Coding of still pictures (JPEG); - IEC/TC 79, Alarm systems and electronic security (including its European counterpart CENELEC/TC 79, Alarm systems); - ITU, International Telecommunication Union; - IETF, Internet Engineering Task Force; - SMPTE, Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers; - NATO Standardization Agency. The committee responsible for this standard is NA 031-05 FBR "Fachbereichsausschuss Sicherheit und Schutz des Gemeinwesens" ("Steering Committee of the Section Societal Security") at DIN.
