A guide to the changes to Amendment 1 of BS 8418 which include setting and unsetting by the use of remote devices (e.g. an application running on a smart phone), plus additional reminders regarding cyber security and insurance and has been republished as ‘BS 8418:2015+A1:2017 Installation and Remote Monitoring of Detector-Activated CCTV Systems – Code of Practice’. The amendment has taken account of experience gained from the 2015 version, other security products, technology advances and consumer requirements.
This amendment will only impact those detector-activated CCTV systems where setting and unsetting can be carried out via a remote device.
