Security installed and maintained
NSI recently upgraded its code of practice (NCP 104) for the design, installation and maintenance of CCTV systems. The new code of practice is based on BS EN 62676- 4 and provides a structured approach to determining user requirements through an appropriate risk assessment and site survey. Modern digital camera systems provide
te (NSI) – curity and services also the
high definition images, better accuracy in the recording and retrieval of information, and increasingly facial recognition. This all means that quality management and control systems need to ensure correct use of CCTV recording and surveillance for the intended purpose, the security of recorded data and a guarantee that rights to privacy are protected. Whilst many stadiums will already have
Annexes to BS 7958. This includes fully trained and security screened contracted staff to work in the stadium’s CCTV control room or sub-contracting out the whole CCTV monitoring service to an external control room. Whether outsourced or managed in-house,
CCTV managed and operated in accordance with BS 7958 provides stadium managers with significant confidence that operations are fit for purpose, whilst respectful of personal data management and the rights and freedoms of the individual. Guiding principles for the practical
application of surveillance cameras in public spaces can be found in the Surveillance Camera Code of Practice, for which NSI is an appointed assessing body. NSI audits against this code as part of the Surveillance Camera Commissioner’s Third Party Certification

CCTV installed, the need to maintain these and operate to a high standard is important,
not only to make best use of modern camera and recording technology, but also to ensure that latest security software updates are applied to protect from cyber threats.
Together raising standards
Companies demonstrate commitment to good practice by the approvals they hold. NSI Gold approval includes certification to BS EN ISO 9001 for the company Quality Management System as well as adherence to the relevant product standards such as BS 7958 and/or NSI code of practice NCP 104. Companies who benchmark themselves
against NSI approval schemes, demonstrate commitment to the highest standards of competence in the delivery, monitoring, management and operation of CCTV and security services. NSI approval provides assurance to
stadium owners that installers, operators and the management of CCTV systems and control rooms deliver consistent best practice in surveillance.
