Ten companies from the network video surveillance market joined the first ONVIF developer's plug fest in Tokyo, Japan.
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global and open industry forum that is committed to the adoption of network video in the security market.
At the event, the participants tested their product implementations of ONVIF core specification 1.0. The testing included video encoders, network cameras and video management software, verifying interoperability between the products and the software. All participants - Axis, Bosch, Canon, Hitachi, IndigoVision, Merit Lilin, Panasonic, Sony, Vivotek and Zuken - could confirm the correct implementation into their products.
"We are very pleased with the results from the plug fest as all companies successfully achieved the goal of interoperability with the other participants," says Markus Wierny, Bosch Security Systems, Member of ONVIF's Technical Services Committee and organizer of the plug fest. "This means a significant step towards ONVIF's goal of achieving global interoperability."
