Status & updates
- Current edition: EN IEC 62676-4:2025 (application guidelines).
- Supersedes EN 50132-7:2012 (CCTV application guidelines).
- Performance via DORI (pixels per meter): Detection 25 • Observation ~63 • Recognition 125 • Identification 250.
Design & placement
- Define per-camera purpose (detection → identification) and map to DORI/PPM & FoV.
- Fields of view, mounting height/angle, lens/sensor, day/night/IR and lighting.
- Environmental/vandal ratings, cabling/PoE and UPS.
Performance & storage
- Resolution/frame rate, compression/bitrates and WDR tuned to the goal.
- Storage capacity & retention (privacy), integrity/export.
- Access control, logging and basic cyber hygiene (patching/firmware).
Integration & maintenance
Integrate with alarm/access/monitoring; periodic verification, health checks and firmware management to maintain demonstrable performance.
Frequently asked questions
Is EN 50132 still valid?
The application guideline 50132-7:2012 is replaced by EN 62676-4 (latest edition: 2025). Use EN 62676-4 for new projects.
What is DORI?
DORI links performance to pixels-per-meter: ~25/63/125/250 px/m to select lens/sensor and realistic distances.
Do you provide reporting?
Yes — handover report (settings, test images), DORI rationale per camera and optimisation advice.
