Look to yourself in the mirror my friend.because you just raised your eyebrow do you know why???? Because you dont know what is ONVIF.let me answer this question for you
The acronym ONVIF stands for the Open Network Video Interface Forum and its an open industry which is committed to accelerate the adoption of network video in the security market through a global open interface standard. It was founded on November 25, 2008 by Axis Communications, Bosch Security Systems and Sony.
The goal of the ONVIF forum is to facilitate the development and use of a global open standard for the interface of network video products. The ONVIF specification will ensure interoperability between network video products regardless the manufacturer. It will become even easier for end users, integrators, consultants and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video, resulting in more cost-effective and flexible solutions, expanded market opportunities and reduced risk.
But what is the reason behind ONVIF?
Growth of opportunities in the surveillance market has driven the demand for open standards of interoperability. With companies; realizing that delivering network camera standards is more important for expanding and maturing the IP video surveillance market, the formation of the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF).
The base elements of ONVIF are:
Standardization of communication between network video devices.
Interoperability between network video products regardless manufacturer.
Open to all companies and organizations.
The ONVIF specification framework covers procedures from the network video transmitter deployment and the configuration phase to the real time streaming phase for these different network scenarios. The framework starts from a core set of interface functions, and it shall be easy to extend and enhance the specifications as future versions are released.
The main focus of the specification is the interface between a Network Video Transmitter (NVT) and a Network Video Client (NVC). The specification covers device discovery, device configuration, events, PTZ control, video analytics and real time streaming functions.
ONVIF has released several specifications such as:
ONVIF Schema [ONVIF Schema].
ONVIF Analytics Service WSDL [ONVIF Analytics WSDL].
ONVIF Device Service WSDL [ONVIF DM WSDL].
ONVIF Event Service WSDL [ONVIF Event WSDL].
ONVIF Imaging Service WSDL [ONVIF Imaging WSDL].
ONVIF Media Service WSDL [ONVIF Media WSDL]
ONVIF PTZ Service WSDL [ONVIF PTZ WSDL]
ONVIF Remote Discovery WSDL [ONVIF DP WSDL]
ONVIF Topic Namespace XML [ONVIF Topic Namespace]
ONVIF Strengths
As the global IP camera leader and de facto leader of ONVIF, Axis commands significant respect amongst manufacturers and integrators.
ONVIF seems to be favored in Europe and Asia.
When do we adopt ONVIF?
Companies can adopt the ONVIF standards for high-end video devices with Camera analytics and configurations.
The adoption of IP camera standards is recognized to be a significant factor for the continued growth of IP video in the security industry because it reduces s the complexity and cost of IP surveillance installations. With the availability of ONVIF standards, the basic levels of integration required between hardware and software should make it easier to implement IP video. Hardware manufacturers, software providers and installers are able then to focus on other products developments and services that can add more value for customers.
