ONVIF offers Profile S for streaming video Profile G for video recording and storage Profile C for physical access controlДЇounded in 2008, ONVIF is a well-recognised industry forum driving interoperability for IP-based physical security products. Because an add-on supports version handling, it can be updated quickly to adjust for new technology additions or updates.Д®xtending ONVIF conformance tests to include optional add-ons ensures that an ONVIF conformant device, such as an IP camera, and an ONVIF client, such as a video management system, conforms to an add-on will work together regardless of the manufacturer. While the features included in profiles cannot be changed, add-ons are easily adaptable to evolving technology/specification requirements. The add-on concept enhances the ONVIF profile model by enabling conformance claims to additional features and capabilities that are not already included in ONVIF profiles.ДЄ comprehensive set of tests and featuresДЄnВ ONVIF profileВ involves a fixed and comprehensive set of features that enable a functional product to be developed solely on the profile specification. To conform to an add-on, a product must also conform to an ONVIF profile. The add-on concept enhances the ONVIF profile model by enabling conformance claims to additional featuresДЄnВ ONVIF add-onВ is one or more features that solve a particular use case for instance, a need for standardising file formats when exporting video.

We look forward to seeing development proposals from members for not only profiles but also add-ons.вЂќ вЂњAs profile development can be a lengthy process, add-ons will allow ONVIF to more quickly offer additional capabilities and functionalities that carry the weight of ONVIF conformance to the market. вЂњThe demand for more standardised solutions that can solve a wide variety of use cases is only continuing to grow,вЂќ said Leo Levit, chairman of the ONVIF Steering Committee. This new concept enhances the ability of ONVIF to more quickly respond to the needs of the market with increased interoperability and flexibility of choice for end-users and systems integrators. ONVIFВ®, the global standardisation initiative for IP-based physical security products, has announced the add-on concept, which extends the ONVIF conformance process to individual product features that can solve a specific use case or end-user need.
