ONVIF Announces More Than 600 Conformant Products

  • Jan 25, 2011

ONVIF, a global standardization initiative for IP-based physical security products, recently announced that the number of ONVIF conformant products, including network cameras and video management systems, has reached more than 600. The rapidly increasing number of ONVIF conformant products is making it easier day by day for end users, integrators and consultants to build best-of-breed security solutions from multiple vendors.

  • There are now over 600 ONVIF conformant products on the market, a number that has doubled just within the last three months.
  • The ONVIF membership count has increased to over 250 companies.
  • The recently released ONVIF Core Specification 2.0 extends ONVIF’s reach to video storage, display devices, video analytics and several other areas.

“Three months ago, in October 2010, the number of ONVIF conformant products was about 300. Since then the number has doubled, which is an astounding increase. This clearly shows that the industry has chosen ONVIF as the preferred interface,” said Jonas Andersson of Axis Communications and chairman of ONVIF’s Steering Committee.

Apart from the growth of ONVIF conformant products, ONVIF members have also increased to more than 250, including 15 full members, 23 contributing members and 220 user members.

And with the recently released ONVIF Core Specification 2.0, ONVIF is now extending the reach of its specifications to video storage, display devices, video analytics and several other areas.

It did something that no analog system could: transmit video over a standard IP network. Read Now

  • From Surveillance to Intelligence

    Years ago, it would have been significantly more expensive to run an analytic like that — requiring a custom-built solution with burdensome infrastructure demands — but modern edge devices have made it accessible to everyone. It also saves time, which is a critical factor if a missing child is involved. Video compression technology has played a critical role as well. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in video coding standards — including H.263, MPEG formats, and H.264—alongside compression optimization technologies developed by IP video manufacturers to improve efficiency without sacrificing quality. The open-source AV1 codec developed by the Alliance for Open Media—a consortium including Google, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon and others — is already the preferred decoder for cloud-based applications, and is quickly becoming the standard for video compression of all types.
