Axis, Bosch and Sony unveil ONVIF

Dubai, September 13, 2008

Axis Communications, Bosch Security Systems and Sony Corporation said they have jointly launched ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum), the global open forum for the standardisation of network video products.

The companies said ONVIF is the result of their cooperation, formed in May 2008. By creating an independent, non-profit organisation the three founding members ensure the openness needed to develop an open industry standard.

ONVIF is committed to accelerating the adoption of network video in the security market through a global open interface standard. The standard will define a common protocol for the exchange of information (such as device discovery, live video, audio, metadata and control information) between network video devices.

The ONVIF interface will provide interoperability between network video products regardless of 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.

ONVIF will be officially open for membership at Security 2008 in Essen, Germany where the forum will be represented with its own dedicated booth.

Interested parties may register to participate via the web site at www.onvif.org. The site provides information about the benefits of a global standard and answers to frequently asked questions. - TradeArabia News Service
