International. ONVIF, the global standardization initiative for IP-based physical security solutions, reported that more than 30,000 product models in the global physical security market already meet its interoperability requirements.
This new milestone means that the number of interoperable and ONVIF-compliant products has doubled in the last three years and tripled since 2018. Security system integrators and end users around the world rely on products that meet ONVIF interoperability standards to create security systems that use best-of-breed components, regardless of manufacturer, to meet the specific needs of their organizations.
"The demand for open systems is growing exponentially as organizations increasingly prioritize interoperability and freedom of choice for their security systems and beyond," said Leo Levit, chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. "The rapid growth rate of ONVIF-compliant products exemplifies that market demand, as well as the work of our member companies that have established these successful specifications."
As a technical alliance, ONVIF creates interoperability specifications that provide standardized communication pathways for various security and surveillance industry use cases, including basic and advanced video streaming, metadata handling for video analytics, video recording and storage, as well as physical access control. Companies that are members of ONVIF contribute to the specialized committees and working groups to create these specifications, and are currently working on new ONVIF standards, known as profiles, in the areas of cloud connectivity, IP audio, and advanced metadata.
ONVIF membership is open to manufacturers, software developers, consultants, system integrators, end users, and other organizations looking to help shape the future of physical security technology.
