Video Surveillance System

Video Surveillance System - Consultation, Installation & Inspection

With a video surveillance system (VSS), you protect yourself, your employees, data, and assets. Observations can be carried out in real time, and recordings can be stored, reviewed, and played back. This supports the work of security services or the police.

Uses of Video Surveillance Systems

Video surveillance systems can be installed in commercial properties, retail, hospitality venues, public spaces, residential buildings, or even mobile setups for construction sites. They are used for control and monitoring purposes, including for example:

• Alarm verification in the event of burglary, robbery, or fire
• Detection of criminal offenses such as theft or embezzlement
• Site monitoring, both outdoors and indoors
• Deterrence e.g. against arson, sabotage, vandalism, and robbery
• Locating and tracking of offenders
• Integration with access control systems for people or vehicles

Components of a Video Surveillance System

Depending on the application, a video surveillance system consists of the following components:

• Camera (e.g. indoor, outdoor, thermal), with lighting if required
• Control and storage unit
• Output interfaces such as monitors
• Connecting components such as cables, distributors, switches, etc.

Video Surveillance System in Accordance with VdS Requirements (Class A, B, or C)

Depending on the protection objectives and requirements, installation in accordance with VdS requirements VdS 2366, DIN VDE 0100, and DIN VDE 0800 is also possible.

Data Protection in Video Surveillance

The data protection law of the respective federal state must be observed. In addition, the GDPR provides for a transparency obligation for video surveillance systems. As a result, a sign with a pictogram indicating camera surveillance must be displayed.
