“Developing IP camera standards is important to the continued expansion of the IP video surveillance market and is also an important part of ensuring our customer’s ability to implement comprehensive security solutions,” said Dave Tynan, vice-president of global sales at Avigilon.
“We are committed to joining standards organisations such as ONVIF to ensure that our HD and megapixel video surveillance system continues to lead the industry with support for a broad list of leading IP surveillance cameras.”
Marketing and sales operations manager Rick Ramsay said Avigilon was also previewing its Control Center 4.0 surveillance software at IFSEC 2009.
“It’s really the engine that makes the images collected by the HD cameras work effectively,” he said.
The software will be available from the end of this month. The company describes it as “a secure and reliable open enterprise class network video management platform for capturing, managing, and storing high definition surveillance video while efficiently managing bandwidth and storage”.
Established by Axis Communications, Bosch Security Systems, and Sony Corporation, ONVIF is a global and open industry forum that is committed to the adoption of network video in the security market.
The ONVIF specification defines a common protocol for the exchange of information between network video devices including automatic device discovery, video streaming, and intelligence metadata.
