The guide aims to inform programmers how to integrate ONVIF conformant devices into specific applications.
The company, which has developed standards for the integration of IP-based physical security products, held a networking event at IFSEC 2011 last week.
The event drew around 80 integrators, end users, consultants and manufacturers who attended to hear about ONVIF’s success in promoting a global standard for the interface of IP security products.
Designed as a companion piece to the ONVIF Core Specification and Test Specifications documents, the comprehensive Application Programmer’s Guide covers the different services included in the ONVIF specification, including discovery, setup and administration, streaming, storage and many others, and also offers sample code for programmers to incorporate into their applications.
It has been made available in the White Papers section of www.onvif.org.
“The industry is increasingly looking to ONVIF as the driving force for standardization in IPsecurity products,” said Jonas Andersson, of Axis Communications and chairman of ONVIF’s Steering Committee.
“With the pending release of our specification for physical access control, one more major technology segment of the industry will be able to benefit from a global standard, increasing product choice and opening the markets to innovative new companies.”
The expansion of the scope to include physical access control systems is slated for release in 2011.
