This British Standard gives recommendations for the operation and
management of CCTV within a controlled environment, where data
that might be offered as evidence is received, stored, reviewed or
analyzed. This standard applies to the monitoring of traffic regulations.
For control rooms whose operation falls within the scope of BS 7499 or
BS 5979, all of the security requirements, both physical and procedural,
of the relevant British Standard remain applicable.
This British Standard is applicable to CCTV schemes used in public
places such as the following:
a) areas where the public are encouraged to enter or have a right
to visit, such as town centres, shopping malls, public transport,
health establishments, etc.;
b) schemes that overlook a public place, such as traffic monitoring
schemes;
c) private schemes where a camera view includes a partial view
of a public place.
This British Standard also provides good practice for all other
CCTV schemes.
