Wavestore’s VMS (video management software) has been tested against the ONVIF Profile S video streaming standard.
Profile S describes the common functionalities shared by ONVIF- conforming video management products and devices that send, configure, request or control the streaming of media data over an IP network. Included are features such as PTZ control, audio streaming and relay outputs.
To achieve Profile S certification, Wavestore’s VMS had to be tested with cameras from five manufacturers.
Chris Williams, Director of Wavestore, said: “We are in fact able to support cameras from a far greater number of manufacturers. The open architecture of our Linux based VMS allows us to very quickly integrate protocols to enable interaction with virtually any analogue or IP network cameras, including megapixel, HD, HDcctv and 360 degree models as and when projects dictate.”
Briefly, ONVIF is an open industry forum for development of global standards for the interface of IP-based CCTV and other security products. Founded in 2008, the forum has more than 430 members, including many manufacturers of network video equipment.
“Wavestore is a member of ONVIF and we fully support its objectives. The introduction of the Profile S standard has been an important step as it means that consultants, system integrators and installers can be confident that any product on the certified list will integrate harmoniously, and will not present any configuration challenges,” said Chris Williams.
