ONVIF Releases Profile G for Video Storage and Recording
ONVIF announced the release of Profile G, the specification that encompasses on-board video storage, searching, retrieval capabilities and media playback.
Profile G was created to further refine the interoperability between live video and video storage. It covers cameras, encoders and network video recorder (NVR) devices as well as client systems such as video management systems, building management systems and physical security information management (PSIM) systems, among others. Profile G had been in release-candidate status for the past six months to provide review within the industry.
ONVIF introduced the profile concept to enable end users to more easily identify features supported by a profile without determining the compatibility between versions of the ONVIF specifications. Already in existence are Profile S for video and audio streaming, and Profile C which allows interoperability between clients and devices of physical access control systems (PACS) and network-based video systems.
