Avigilon, a specialist in high definition (HD) and megapixel video surveillance systems, has announced that its upcoming version of Avigilon Control Center, the company's HD surveillance software, will support all third-party cameras that operate on the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) standard.
Established in 2008 by AxisCommunications, Bosch Security Systems and Sony Corp., ONVIF is an industry forum committed to the adoption of network video in the security market, according to Avigilon, which has been a member of ONVIF since May 2009, and which also notes that 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.
"The number of ONVIF supported cameras entering the marketplace is a clear indication of the market's desire for industry standards to make the selection, installation, and management of surveillance systems easier," Dave Tynan, vice president of global sales and marketing for Avigilon, said in a statement. "As an early supporter of the ONVIF standard, we are pleased to announce that Avigilon Control Center now supports all ONVIF standard cameras and look forward to an even broader adoption of the ONVIF standard around the world."
