Vigilance can report that the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has published a revised edition of its CCTV users’ logbook, to reflect recent developments relating to industry standards and governance.
Aimed at end-users of CCTV surveillance systems, the logbook has been updated to reflect current industry practice and the content of both European and International CCTV standards. This edition of the logbook also sees the introduction of carbon copy inserts for commissioning and hand-over of a CCTV system, which will be of great benefit to installers of the system, saving them the effort of having to produce their own versions and of course being able to leave a copy with their client.
