STEP 7 – WE ALWAYS FOLLOW THE LATEST GUIDANCE AND GUARANTEE YOU THE MOST SUITABLE DESIGN

Any discussion about IP CCTV would be incomplete if it did not include the ONVIF. ONVIF is an open industry forum that provides and promotes standardized interfaces
for effective interoperability of IP-based physical security products. ONVIF was developed to serve as an open standard for manufacturers to use. It was developed to make it simpler to integrate video management software with third-party cameras and third-party software by eliminating the need for proprietary standards. Because it is a single protocol for everything, there is no need for the creation of special APIs to support it. Since it is an open standard, the end-user is not tied to a certain camera manufacturer.

During the design and planning stages of an IP CCTV system, our system designer must make certain that the equipment he selects is compatible with the ONVIF standard to guarantee compatibility between cameras and network recording devices.

There are many levels of compatibility with ONVIF, each of which dictates which functions may be incorporated into a system. Occasionally, a camera may provide a video feed while being unable to perform more sophisticated functions, such as video analytics, due to technical limitations. For complete functioning with your NVR or VMS, the only way to be sure is to verify with Trantech professionals, who can ensure compatibility with the equipment we sell.
