INTRODUCTION
3
• A new Video Surveillance System (VSS) Standard for Buildings was drafted in line with the improvement in technology.
• VSS deployment to support and enhance the overall management of a building’s security.
• Most effective when deployed with other security measures (e.g. access control, alarm systems).

OBJECTIVES
4
Video Surveillance System (VSS) Standards• Provides for a uniform and consistent approach for
the technical specifications, installation, operation and performance of VSS across buildings in Singapore.
• Provides guidelines to the industry in the deployment of VSS
• Helps in security management and assist in post incident investigations/reviews.

CAMERA
7
• Network IP-based Cameras, recommended to be compliance to Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) standards
• Minimum height of 2m from floor level
• Vandal-resistant and Tamper-proof enclosure
• Good colour reproduction for easy identification
• Fixed Cameras are deployed to meet coverage requirement; Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) Cameras can be used as a supplement to fixed cameras

RECORDING
11
• Open-format CODEC and video container format
• Period of Archival: 28 days + 10% buffer• Basic Metadata: GPS time and date to be watermarked
on recorded images• Image quality of HD1080p: 1920x1080
– Good quality images for post incident investigations– Clear images allow for speedier identification of the subject
which will lead to faster apprehension of the perpetrator • Recording and storage facility:
– Preventive measures against unauthorised removal/ viewing of recordings
– Sited in the inner perimeter of the building

LIGHTING
12
• Ensure that the artificial/natural lighting does not blind the camera view.
• Lighting should be continuous and sufficient to support VSS coverage.
• Light source is recommended to be a minimum of 2m from the camera.
• Preferred position for the lightis above the camera.

CAMERA SYSTEM
13
• Reserve viewing terminal– For Emergency Response Agencies
• System Integrator (SI) / Vendor to provide Software Development Kit (SDK) for commands including Select Camera, View, Extract, PTZ and Playback
• VSS designed and installed with a minimum f 20% spare capacity for future expansion
• Signage– Strategically located to inform the public that the
VSS is continuously monitored and recorded– Building owners may opt for Digital TV instead
