IndigoVision is already an open system for storage, access control, analytics and other security systems. So ONVIF is truly ‘the final piece of the jigsaw' for IndigoVision's open architecture in that it now extends freedom of choice to third-party cameras.
IndigoVision supports any Windows-based storage manufacturer and integrates with access control vendors such as Lenel, Software House, Bosch Security Systems, Honeywell Security, GE. An open application programming interface allows third-party video analytics providers to integrate with IndigoVision systems and a SDK is freely available so systems integrators can connect any other system. ONVIF further extends IndigoVision's openness, with the freedom to choose any camera in addition to storage, access control, analytics and custom systems, making it probably the most open IP security system.
End users can view and record video from both IndigoVision and ONVIF cameras in one system. This offers the benefits of enhanced performance from IndigoVision's end-to-end solution, with its compression, guaranteed frame rate, camera-based real-time analytics and bandwidth-saving activity controlled frame rate. Adding ONVIF to this lets customers choose network cameras from other manufacturers for specialist requirements.
IndigoVision also allows third-party ONVIF cameras to benefit from IndigoVision's distributed, serverless architecture that offers resilience and scalability without the single-point-of-failure and cost inherent with central servers. IndigoVision's flexible licensing is also maintained, with management software being licensed exclusively per-camera. This means IndigoVision's management software can be freely downloaded and installed on any number of operator seats and any number of NVRs for no additional charge.
