ONVIF, a leading global standardization initiative for IP-based physical security products, announced that it signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the U.S.-based Security Industry Association (SIA), signaling cooperation toward the further development of IP-based interoperability standards in access control.
Almost all integrators and manufacturers agree that standards are and will continue to be a good thing for the industry. When it comes to integration between access control and video, two of the main standards bodies are ONVIF and PSIA (Physical Security Interoperability Alliance).
Systems integrators searching for compatible products to build a best-of-breed IP security solution for a client now have the luxury of choosing from nearly 700 different interoperable surveillance products based on the ONVIF specification.
