ONVIF launches new online learning initiative

November 2024 Training & Education, Surveillance, News & Events

ONVIF has released the first course in a new online learning initiative designed to promote greater knowledge and understanding of ONVIF's workings. The new “Introduction to ONVIF” course offers a comprehensive overview of how the organisation and its standardised interfaces work for the interoperability of IP-based physical security products and services.

Available on www.onvif.org, the interactive course educates users on the ONVIF mission and organisation, the benefits of ONVIF standards, what ONVIF profiles and add-ons are and practical applications for both, and the importance of the conformance process. The e-learning course is free of charge and is available to anyone interested in learning more about ONVIF.

“With today’s rapidly advancing technology advancements, education and knowledge sharing is increasingly important for organisations of all types to achieve their business goals,” said Leo Levit, Chairman of the ONVIF Steering Committee. “This e-learning course will help increase the understanding of ONVIF and the advantages of incorporating ONVIF conformant products into a security system.”

ONVIF member companies can also access the e-learning course for use on their internal learning management platforms to provide this information to their staff and customer base.

Founded in 2008, ONVIF is a recognised industry forum driving interoperability for IP-based physical security products. The organisation has a global member base of established camera, video management system and access control companies and more than 30 000 profile conformant products. ONVIF offers Profile S for streaming video, Profile G for video recording and storage, Profile C for physical access control, Profile A for broader access control configuration, Profile T for advanced video streaming, Profile M for metadata and events for analytics applications, and Profile D for access control peripherals. ONVIF continues to work with its members to expand the number of IP interoperability solutions ONVIF conformant products can provide.

Further information about ONVIF conformant products, including member companies and their conformant models, is available on www.onvif.org.
