Challenge
Recent years have seen a growth in the use of video surveillance technologies as part of the package of protective security measures used to protect critical infrastructures and other valuable assets. Academia and industry have been investing time and money in relevant technology innovations, but there was a lack of standardisation, testing and accreditation in Europe that would help users to ensure that video surveillance products are fit for their purposes.
This ERNCIP Thematic Group sought to identify the activities at European level on video surveillance technologies within the security sector that will assist operators of critical infrastructure improve their protective security.
Focus of work
This thematic group specifically focused on the following topics:
- The determination on how EU standards activities could best support user needs for the evaluation of video surveillance systems.
- The production of a guide for end users of factors to consider regarding the deployment of automated video surveillance.
- The determination on how best to enable Collation/Common access to data sets in the EU for testing/evaluation of video surveillance software.
