TKH Security Solutions announced that it has successfully implemented ONVIF Profile S in its Siqura IP cameras and video encoders. Profile S comprises all the streaming requirements across each ONVIF version point and is the first in a series of profiles that enable users to more easily determine the compatibility of ONVIF-compliant equipment.
Seamless integration guaranteed
By ensuring its Siqura solutions conform to ONVIF Profile S, TKH Security Solutions guarantees that its Siqura IP devices integrate seamlessly with third-party products that comply with the ONVIF Profile S specification. Siqura cameras and codecs now support video streaming, PTZ control, audio streaming, NTP, and relay outputs according to the ONVIF standard. This offers customers the ability to select the products that best suit their specific project requirements.
Demonstration at Security Essen 2012
As a contributing member and strong supporter of ONVIF, TKH Security Solutions will participate in the ONVIF Interoperability Demonstration on Wednesday, September 26, at the Security Essen trade show in Germany. At this event, TKH Security Solutions will show how its ONVIF Profile S-compliant Siqura IP cameras and encoders can easily integrate into a variety of ONVIF-conformant security management systems. Visitors will get a good idea of how the ONVIF standard works to improve system performance and how it allows users to incorporate the most appropriate devices for their particular application.
Stricter requirements for ONVIF compliancy
The ONVIF standard has a number of different versions that contain various features. Since the features required to integrate a system for a particular purpose are not necessarily part of the same version, ONVIF reorganized its version specifications into profiles, each of which covers a specific task; for example, Profile S contains streaming requirements while Profile G and Profile C cover the storage and access control features, respectively. The ONVIF test tool has also been adjusted to more accurately certify products that are compliant with a certain profile.
Profile S sets strict guidelines for the common components that are shared by ONVIF-compliant devices (e.g., cameras and codecs) and client programs (e.g., management software). It defines how these products must send, configure, request, or control media streaming over an IP network. Ultimately, this facilitates the efforts of manufacturers, systems integrators, and users to more effectively streamline and implement integrated systems based on open standards.
