In many cases this has been
13、replaced by digital CCTV recording system (DCRS) technology with the result that specifiers and end users require guidance.The rapid change towards DCRS technology is based on improved reliability, ease of use, ability to search for specific recorded data quickly, no need for daily attention, in par
14、ticular, relating to the constant requirement to change video tapes and the retention thereof. This British Standard does not attempt to establish a preference for the digital recording medium to be adopted but does recommend the areas that should be considered when adopting DCRS technology.The hand
15、ling of evidential digital images within the Criminal Justice System is covered by the Digital Imaging Procedure 1, which states that digital recording technology provides no original that could be produced in evidence. All that is available for use as evidence is a copy of the first, probably tempo
16、rary, recording in memory, and this will be admissible as evidence.Its weight and admissibility as evidence can be influenced by:a) Whether the images audit trail from the digital recording device to the court is robust.b) Whether the integrity of the image can be proven.It is at the courts discreti
17、on whether the evidence is deemed admissible.NOTE 1 Attention is drawn to the requirements of the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA) 2.NOTE 2 For further information refer to the CCTV Code of Practice published by the Information Commissioners Office 3.1 ScopeThis British Standard gives recommendations
18、for the specification, selection, installation and operation of digital CCTV recording systems (DCRS), for the purpose of generating CCTV images to be used as evidence in a court of law. This document is aimed at assisting specifiers, installers, users, insurance companies, police authorities and pu
19、rchasing organizations. Particular emphasis is placed on the following key areas.a) Fitness for purpose of recorded images.b) Audit trail.c) Image integrity.d) Time and date integrity.e) Storage.f) Export of images.g) Replay of exported images.Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 2

35、hat the purpose of the system is defined in the Operational Requirement; this should state what the customer expects the digital CCTV recording system (DCRS) to do. Factors affecting the clarity of images the DCRS records include:a) subject size within the field of view of the camera;b) lighting of
36、subjects within field of view;c) camera and lens specification;d) transmission medium;e) system maintenance.The installation of the CCTV system should be in accordance with BS EN 50132-7.NOTE 2 The requirements of prEN 50132-1 should also be considered.If appropriate, the installation of the CCTV sy
37、stem should be in accordance with BS 8418.NOTE 3 Attention is drawn to the HOSDB CCTV operational requirements manual 4.NOTE 4 Some CCTV systems are capable of recording audio as well as images. Where this is the case the audio should be correctly synchronized to the images. The audio data should be
38、 treated in the same manner as image data with regard to its integrity.5 Fitness for purpose of recorded imagesThe DCRS should be capable of meeting the Operational Requirement arising from each camera. It should be verified that the DCRS meets the required performance criteria in the following area
39、s:a) Level of recorded digital image compression per camera. NOTE Too much compression will result in loss of detail due to blurring and/or blocking depending on the degree of compression applied. Compression is typically applied to reduce the amount of space required to store the digital images. Le
40、ss compression is better for image clarity.Licensed Copy: Wang Bin, ISO/EXCHANGE CHINA STANDARDS, 22/01/2008 01:46, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI BSI 2007 5BS 8495:2007b) Image per second record rate per camera.NOTE Low image per second record rates might miss certain activity. However, higher image pe
41、r second record rates will require more data to be stored.c) Recorded digital image resolution. NOTE An insufficient resolution setting will result in loss of detail/clarity of received images. Resolution is typically reduced to minimize the amount of space required to store the digital images. High
42、 resolution recording equivalent to the minimum resolution of the capture device is better for image clarity.NOTE Each of these parameters might be adjustable to reflect changes in operating conditions such as differentiation between event/non-event.6Audit trailAs the methods of operation and manage
43、ment of the DCRS can affect the integrity of evidence, actions and events for the DCRS should be logged. The information in an audit trail should be retained for at least 6 months.As a minimum the following events should be logged in the audit trail.a) User logon and logoff.1) ID of the user.2) The
44、time and date of the event.b) Time and date changes (automated and manual).1) System time and date at the point of change.2) New time and date immediately after the point of change.3) ID of user making the change.c) When recording is started or stopped manually.1) Time and date the recording is star
45、ted or stopped.2) ID of user starting or stopping recording.d) Any enhancement applied to images.1) Unique identifier of enhanced image.2) Time and date of image enhancement.3) ID of user enhancing the image.4) Details of enhancement(s).NOTE If multiple enhancements were applied, the order in which
46、they were applied should be logged.e) Exporting of images.1) Unique identifier of exported image.NOTE For example, the time and date the exported image was recorded and the camera label from which it originated.2) Time and date of image export.3) ID of user exporting the image.Licensed Copy: Wang Bi

Protection methods should not prevent images being provided to authorized third parties such as the police.NOTE 1 Control of access to images can be achieved by physical and/or electronic means (e.g. passwords and data encryption).
