As use of surveillance and security cameras increases, it turns into integrated network, so there is a huge need of interface between cameras to cameras and the user. As direct management of cameras causes huge labor work and reduces the time period of devices, which makes surveillance less affordable and time consuming.
ONVIF stands for Open Network Video Interface Forum, as it says it is a tool for better operation between video making hardware to user or forming interface. It is efficient as it is open forum. Technically speaking it is the open and global standard for providing organized and programmable interface for Internet Protocol (IP) based security and surveillance products. This handy tool was founded by internationally reputed and improving companies like Axis, Sony and Bosch in 2008, on the interest of modernized and user friendly security. As a part of globalised security it gives compatibility for all types of products regardless of company, making it more popular. It is not only compatible but also gives interoperability between internet protocol based products, means it can connect different brands and at the same time different products. Thus, encouraging all companies which may produce different products with different qualities and different prices. Thereby with the user who can by any products and the companies all are profited plus improving securities globally; which concludes Internet protocol or IP cameras are fully compliant with the ONVIF standard.
ONVIF are committed to the IP products, standardizing the communication globally. This is possible because of technology behind ONVIF offers common protocol suitable for exchanging digital data between network video devices, discovering devices automatically, video streaming and intelligence metadata. For integrating all systems, the main things to be considered are cost of products, installation methods, compatibility, and future proof. As these four are covered as they are out of box (open), thus reliable interoperability gives easy installation and zero cost and even flexibility due to global protocols. They even guarantee the flexibility with future technology (only in case of same base parts).
ONVIF offers even additional features if your device has necessary accessories, like Video analytics, real time viewing with sound, mobile device management, and media configuration for greater quality or greater capturing time and PTZ control. Thus, making surveillance more useful. To describe about the guarantee offered by the ONVIF one must know about the reputation of foundation companies like Axis and Sony. Axis from foundation takes an active role in the forum, making us believe in the technology which can be used till many years in the future. Even there are many uses if his forum is improved to integrate between future cloud technologies, geography surveillance, thus steps can be taken by companies to make it more inter operational and hope it survives in future technologies.
