CSAA Video Standard under Public Review
CS-V-02 - Video Verification Procedures for Burglar Alarms
We are currently undergoing a review of the CSAA CS-V-02 - Video Verification Procedures for Burglar Alarms. This standard will define minimum practices for the installation and monitoring procedures of burglar alarms by using the addition of video and its transmission from the protected premises for the verification of alarm activity. Its goal is to reduce the instances of false dispatches.
To obtain a copy of the draft standard, visit www.csaaul.org/VideoVerification110609.doc.
