ONVIF: more than 20,000 products conformant to its profiles
ONVIF reaches a new milestone: more than 20,000 security products are now compliant with its various profiles. This great achievement highlights the solid market demand for interoperability of hardware and software offerings and the importance of ONVIF as a leading driver of open standards in the field of physical security.
“The mission of ONVIF – underlines Leonid Levit, chairman of the ONVIF Steering Committee – is simple to provide and promote open interfaces that in turn will increase freedom of choice for end users. Achieving this milestone means there is no question that the market regards interoperability, through ONVIF conformance, to be a fundamental requirement in our industry”.
ONVIF: PAST AND PROJECTIONS
Much of the growth relating to the number of conformant products has happened within the past few years, as ONVIF surpassed 10,000 conformant products in 2018. This indicates a clear commitment from ONVIF members and the industry at large to building IP-based products and systems that enable users to build, change and grow their system free of proprietary constraints. Forthcoming ONVIF profiles, specifically the Profile M Release Candidate for metadata, which is to be finalized later this year, are expected to drive further growth in the number of conformant products to meet interoperability needs in new operational environments, such as in the cloud and with systems running advanced analytics powered by artificial intelligence.
ONVIF REQUIREMENTS
ONVIF conformant products are produced only by ONVIF member companies and must support at least one ONVIF profile. Products must be registered under the ONVIF list of conformant products to be considered conformant. The Conformant Products page on the ONVIF website is the only authoritative list of ONVIF conformant products.
