When you a buy a video surveillance system, how can you tell it is reliable? The German Insurance Association (VdS) has already dealt with this issue years ago and set up strict screening conditions reflecting realistic usage loads. The precise load values are standardised so that testing results are comparable, which brings a clear advantage for the customer. They can rest assured that his certified product faultlessly complies with those conditions and is ideally suited for security applications. Furthermore, VdS-certified products are subject to an ongoing product control, which means that the VdS seal of approval represents an independent statement that provides a qualified decision guidance to customers.
