ONVIF

ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global standard that allows different security cameras, video recorders, and access control devices from various brands to communicate and work together seamlessly. It ensures devices can share video footage, settings, and control commands over a network, simplifying installation and management. By adhering to ONVIF, security systems become more flexible and scalable, enabling users to choose devices from multiple manufacturers without compatibility worries. This standard promotes interoperability, reducing complexity and cost in setting up comprehensive security solutions.
