Method Statement – CCTV systems

9.1 Cameras:

 Verify that the camera produces a clear picture with a resolution no less than
that specified.
 Verify that the camera maintains a clear picture and automatically
compensates for changing light conditions including day/night change
 Verify that cameras have wide dynamic range installed where specified and
operate to prevent camera blinding.
 Verify that cameras provide complete and correct coverage of the area
specified.
 Verify that pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras are fully controllable and function
correctly including camera presets.
 Verify that pan, tilt and zoom (PTZ) cameras are able to perform camera call
preset positions by simulating an event alarm.
 Verify that areas of the camera view may be masked to prevent unwanted
alarm activation.
 Verify that cameras have been fitted with anti-tamper devices.
 Simulate a tamper alarm and verify that the correct signal is transmitted to the
operator workstation.
 Simulate a video feed fault and verify that the correct signal is transmitted to
the operator workstation.

9.2 Work Station:

Where cameras are alarm activated and have been interfaced with a security
operator workstation, verify the following functions:

 Alarm activation.
 Manual control of cameras.
 Automatic sequencing and control of cameras.
 Reporting.
 Verify that historical data reports may be generated in less than five (5)
seconds.
 Site plans showing all relevant features.

9.3 Digital Recording:

The following tests shall be performed for the digital IP CCTV system software:
 Verify that adequate data storage capacity has been installed on the
workstation as specified;
 Verify the system hardware supplied meets the minimum specifications;
 Verify the following functions for the digital IP CCTV system software:
 Record;
 Stop;

Ai Security & Electronic Systems . Page 4

Method Statement – CCTV systems

 Play;
 Pause;
 Rewind;
 Fast forward;
 Frame by frame.
 Activate an alarm area then verify that the correct video data is recorded by
the system

9.4 Monitor Defects:

As minor defects are identified during the commissioning tests, each defect shall
be rectified before proceeding to the next test. The camera associated cabling,
control equipment or software that was found to be defective will be recorded in
the commissioning report and rectified. Once rectification is complete, the
equipment shall be retested and the results recorded in the commissioning
schedules.

10. Testing of UTP Copper Cables:

All transmission testing shall be performed with an approved UTP field tester which
shall be factory calibrated by the field test equipment manufacturer. Calibration
certificate shall be submitted for CONSULTANT approval.

Following shall be included in the testing:

 Horizontal Basic Link Model

 Backbone Basic Link Model
 Horizontal Channel Test Model
 Backbone Channel Test Model

Following transmission parameters shall be tested for the installed structured cabling
system using the field tester:

 WIRE MAP
 LENGTH
 NEXT Loss (pair to pair)
 NEXT Loss (power sum)
 FEXT
 ELFEXT (pair to pair)
 ELFEXT Loss (power sum)
 ATTENUATION
 RETURN LOSS
 PROPAGATION DELAY

11. Optical Fiber Testing:

Verify the integrity of all optical fiber link including single mode and multimode fiber
cables using the following tests:

 Continuity test
 ATTENUATION test

Testing shall include but not limited to the following:

 Link loss measurements

 Fiber Attenuation (dB/KM)
 Splice and connector loss.
 Reflectance and optical return loss measurement
 Length measurement.

Test equipment shall be:

 Laser source.
 Power Meter.

OTDR shall be a multi tester with built in power meter, equipped with laser source,
suitable for any field testing and shall be with data storage and PC emulation software.

All test equipment shall be factory calibrated by the field test manufacturer and
calibration certificate shall be submitted for CONSULTANT approval.

12. Optical Fiber Testing:

When the system is complete, an operating and maintenance manual must be handed
over to the customer. This should contain a copy of the agreed specification and
equipment schedule, and will form the basis of the commissioning procedures and tests
to be carried out. The manual should contain a copy of all manufacturers’ data and
installation specifications. The aim should be to provide the customer with sufficient
information to be able to have the system maintained by any competent company in the
future.
An important aspect of commissioning the system will be to record all programming and
equipment set up procedures that have been carried out. These will need to be included
in the final operation and maintenance manual that will be handed over on completion.
