ONVIF introduced the profile concept last year to enable end users to identify more easily features supported by a profile without determining the compatibility between versions of the ONVIF specification. Profile C, the third planned profile which encompasses access control and video integration, will be released early next year, instead of the originally scheduled 2013.

"ONVIF's rate of adoption over the past five years has been dramatic and we recognize the importance for opportunities for open dialogue with the industry,” said Per Bjorkdahl, the Chairman of ONVIF's Steering Committee. "Accommodating the needs of the market is very critical to the success of this type of global, industry-wide initiative."
ONVIF will host a panel discussion and networking event on Thursday, April 11 at ISC West 2013. The event is open to the public and will provide a forum for open dialogue about the implementation of interoperability standards for IP-based physical security technology. Standardization efforts in the security industry continue to move ahead since their introduction five years ago.
Bjorkdahl will join security industry experts on a panel to explore the current market impact of ONVIF's standards initiative, examine possible influences and impacts of standards and look forward to the future of IP interoperability standards deployment in the security industry. Other panel members include Steve Surfaro, security industry liaison at Axis Communications and representative for the Security Industry Association; Jeff Slotnick, CPP, PSP, President of security consulting firm Setracon. and Vice Chair of the ASIS International Physical Security Council; and Matt Powers, Technical Director, Security Solutions for Anixter and a member of the ONVIF Technical Services Committee.
The panel discussion will also kick off a networking event at ISC West, including a proof of concept demonstration of the new ONVIF Profile G for recording and storage functionalities. An interoperability demonstration of Profile S at work in video and audio streaming, PTZ and relay output control as well as video encoder configuration and multicast will also be a focus of the event.
The panel discussion will be held from 4 – 5:30 p.m., Thursday April 11 in Venetian Ballroom J of the Venetian/Palazzo Congress Center & Sands Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada, with the interoperability demonstrations and networking event immediately following the discussion.
