ONVIF Protocol──Building Highly Compatible IP Network Surveillance Systems
The ONVIF protocol serves as the "universal standard" of the surveillance industry. By defining a common network video communication standard, ONVIF enables IP cameras and network management systems from different brands to connect and operate seamlessly.
With this standard in place, users are no longer limited to a single brand when building or expanding their surveillance systems.
For example, whether it's upgrading an existing system (such as replacing old devices) or expanding and integrating new cameras, as long as both old and new equipment comply with the same ONVIF specifications, they can interconnect smoothly, allowing for more flexible configurations while reducing setup costs and complexity.
