Dahua hosts ONVIF plugfest

Dahua Technology recently hosted the 13th ONVIF Developer’s Plugfest at its headquarters in Hangzhou, China. More than 57 senior technical experts representing state-of-the-art IP-based manufacturers from around the world attended this testing event. Dahua is a full member of ONVIF.

The Plugfest consisted of two parts: peer-to-peer testing and user scenario testing. This format enabled manufacturers to test devices for conformance to the ONVIF standard and also provided a chance to simulate a real-world operation environment for testers. For example, the testing included testing interoperability between multiple brands’ devices operating at the same time as one system.

As a full member of ONVIF, Dahua Technology tested both devices and clients for conformance with Profile S, Profile G and Profile Q. During the three-day testing, the manufacturers present tested their systems’ interoperability with Dahua’s systems. The test results show that both Dahua clients and servers conform to the ONVIF Network Interface Specification Set, version 2.4.2, and also that Dahua front-end and storage devices can support recording control, search, replay and many other functions with conformance to Profile G.

Dahua’s devices are also capable of supporting extended features such as video analytics and OSD in addition to basic features such as video, PTZ, event and live streaming.

“This is a reflection of the growing adoption of ONVIF’s standards in the market,” said Takahiro Iwasaki, chairman of ONVIF’s Technical Services Committee Taskforce, Developers’ Plugfest. “The Client Test Tool Clinic that was held during the event was also popular with client manufacturers, who were able to speak with our CTT vendor directly and ask any questions they may have had about the tool.”

“IP is the key point of development for Dahua now and in the future, and we are happy to share our experience and knowledge with ONVIF,” said Tim Shen, marketing director at Dahua Technology. “Dahua is more than just a member of ONVIF, we are devoting ourselves to being a positive influence in the industry that can help bring standardisation to a new level.”
