Closed-Circuit Television (CCTV) systems are used in
modern buildings for different purposes. By the use of
smart cameras, dedicated safety or security-critical events
that may lead to an alarm condition can be detected au-
tonomously (e.g., safety events like fire or security events
like glass break). Integrating CCTV systems into build-
ing automation systems provides the opportunity to react
to critical events by, for example, informing the opera-
tor about the occurrence of such events, providing rele-
vant video data, and most important concurrently initiat-
ing appropriate actions (e.g., smoke extraction in case of
fire). This paper focuses on the integration of such smart
camera systems into BACnet based networks. At first, a
short introduction to BACnet and its interworking model
is given. Afterwards, a possible way of integrating CCTV
systems into BACnet is presented. The functionality of
this model is shown by a proof-of-concept implementation
which is also described in this paper.
