ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) → ONVIF — Relisted. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:55, 23 February 2011 (UTC) The organization ONVIF has now a broader scope than Video and does not spell out the meaning of the abbreviation anymore, vf. http://www.onvif.org/Home.aspx.

Other information

Should "Open Network Video Interface Forum" at least be mentioned in the article to provide some idea about the origin of ONVIF? Zipswich (talk) 17:26, 11 May 2011 (UTC)
Should Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) be mentioned as the competing standard? Zipswich (talk) 20:27, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

I have added a link to Physical Security Interoperability Alliance and "Open Network Video Interface Forum" to the Milestones section. ~Kvng (talk) 23:15, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

NVSIP

NVSIP seems to be a similar protocol to access IP cameras from anywhere in the world. Mainly used by asian products. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.246.161.247 (talk) 12:29, 29 October 2015 (UTC)

ONVIF viewer / reader / dump tool?

Is there any sort of generic utility that can read ONVIF profile data from a device and display all of it?

Virtually all video management systems hide their interaction with ONVIF devices so there's no way to directly view a device's ONVIF profile.

This page is for discussing the Article regarding ONVIF not their standards, tools or the implementation and use of them. Please contact ONVIF directly for this information TSpot-SF (talk) 04:46, 8 March 2018 (UTC)

Requested changes

Changes in introduction:
ONVIF's name is no longer an acronym for Open Network Video Interface Forum. Its name is ONVIF - because its standards go beyond video to encompass all physical security disciplines .

ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global and open industry forum with the goal of facilitating the development and use of a global open standard for the interface of physical IP-based security products - or, in other words, to create a standard for how IP products within video surveillance and other physical security areas can communicate with each other. ONVIF is an organization started in 2008 by Axis Communications, Bosch Security Systems and Sony.[1] "Video surveillance and other" should be removed. See above.

More changes in introduction:

It was officially incorporated as a non-profit, 501(c)6 Delaware corporation on November 25, 2008. ONVIF membership is open to manufacturers, software developers, consultants, system integrators, end users and other interest groups that wish to participate in the activities of ONVIF. The ONVIF specification aims to achieve interoperability between network physical security products regardless of manufacturer.
Thanks.

Profiles - proposed edits in bold
Building on ONVIF Specifications, ONVIF Profiles are technical specifications that ensure the interoperability of specific features between conformant clients and conformant devices.

Profile S - Addresses common functionalities of IP video systems, such as video and audio streaming, PTZ controls, and relay activation.[8] Profile C - Addresses common functionalities of IP access control systems, such as door state and control, credential management, and event handling.[9] Profile G - Addresses video storage, recording, search, and retrieval.[10] Profile Q - Addresses device discovery and configuration, as well as the management of TLS certificates. Profile A (Release Candidate) - Establishes an interface for access control clients and expands the configuration options for ONVIF conformant access control systems.
Thanks.

Members section:
ONVIF offers four levels of membership: user, contributing, observer and full member, to accommodate individual choices of participation. Full or contributing members can actively influence the development of the standard by participating in the work of the forum. The user member level is open to organizations that wish to use the network interface specification and have access to specification proposals but do not want to participate in any work of the forum. The observer member level is open for organizations who do not want to participate in any work of the Forum, but who is granted certain limited benefits such as the right to access Network Interface Specification test tools. However, observer member may not present, claim, market or promote any hardware product or software application or other device to be qualified as a Compliant Network Product. Technology and test tools are available to all ONVIF members to facilitate the development of conformant products.

In December 2009, ONVIF’s member base had grown to 103 members. This comprised 12 full members, 13 contributing members and 78 user members.[2] In December 2010, the forum had more than 240 members and more than 440 conformant products on the market.[3] By January 2015, this had grown to more than 3,700 ONVIF conformant products and 500 members. By August 2016, this grew to more than 6,900 conformant products on the market with 461 members.

Namesection:
Missing words - The longer name was dropped as the scope of the standard expanded beyond video applications. Thanks. CatatONVIF (talk) 20:16, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

Original Research

It appears that the majority of the citations listed for this article come from ONVIF's web page http://www.onvif.org In particular citation #s 4, 5, 6, and 8 through 15 with some of these possibly plagiarizing ONVIF's website.  Even with ONVIF's permission it would still violate wikipedias standards. However, I believe that there are sufficient secondary and tertiary sources now available such that {{Original Research}} is not necessary.  See https://www.onvif.org/in-the-news/ other sources may be found in Google news and scientific journals TSpot-SF (talk) 03:52, 9 March 2018 (UTC)revised TSpot-SF (talk) 15:17, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

@Thaddeus Ballantine: We don't remove the tag until the issue is resolved. Nice to hear that it is possible to resolve the issue. Do you think this requires changes to the article text or are you only concerned about the sourcing? ~Kvng (talk) 14:04, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
