The British Security Industry Association has published a new ‘CCTV Systems Handbook and Logbook for Installed Surveillance Systems.’
The trade boy describes it as a tool to accompany the installation of any CCTV surveillance system and to aid customers in its management.
"Providing comprehensive information to customers on their CCTV system is a vital part of any installer’s service," says BSIA Technical and Membership Services Director, Alex Carmichael. "The BSIA CCTV Handbook and Logbook is both a comprehensive reference tool and maintenance record that can be referred to at any time, providing crucial after-sales support."
The publication contains guidance for customers on the management of their system including the following:
overview of system management responsibilities including the nominated person’s duties, maintenance and servicing requirements, and the customer’s legal obligations.
CCTV system service record – where details of maintenance checks and any corrective repairs can be recorded.
Temporary disconnection record.
Details of relevant standards and legislation.
The installation company’s details.
List of keyholders.
