CCTV - ONVIF Protocol
CCTV - ONVIF Protocol
If you constantly feel the need to improve the security of your home, office or industry, there is a solution. If you are always looking for the best equipment offered in the market, you should know the ONVIF Protocol and how it contributes to the IP CCTV projects.
CCTV is a standard used worldwide by industries specializing in video surveillance. With advanced recording and interconnection systems, it implements IP cameras. Created by the giants of commerce Samsung, Bosch and Sony, and has more than 5 thousand products. These products are compatible with the ONVIF protocol (IP cameras and Network Video Records).
Basically, this pattern works by issuing commands with code through the recorder to the cameras connected to it. This connection produces high-resolution, high-quality images, whatever the brand you are using. That is, it is a global system controlled by IP (Internet Protocol for machine identification).
Now that you know a little bit about the ONVIF Protocol, we've listed a number of features for you. We're sure that these products will be extremely useful to use in your business in the best possible way. We'll now talk about some of the pros and cons of ONVIF.
Advantages and disadvantages
The great advantage of ONVIF is precisely to provide communication between different brands of network video recorders and IP cameras of different manufacturers. This function was not possible before the development of this method. In this way, the final consumer is the one who benefits the most. The consumer has a wide range of options that will allow him/her to make the best personal choice. Also, it adapts easily to the different software, being easily programmable.
If we can summarize, it allows to perform tasks with basic functions in the equipment so that the client has practically a total autonomy on the system. Thus, the user is able to fully handle the features offered by the manufacturer.
Disadvantages
Since nothing in this world is perfect, the pattern also has certain disadvantages. They show themselves more incisively in the individual protocols that each company creates for itself. With this, some versions of the developers, and even the type of integration we use, may limit our experience with it.
If each producer makes their ONVIF with specific and differentiated details, we can conclude that they are special, such as Fish Eye technology, and therefore the system will not support producing.
These disadvantages can appear with indicators such as broadband being consuming more data than normal, difficulties in recognizing the video analysis events of the videos that are made by the cameras. Errors may also occur when transmitting the audio from the recordings.
Also, you can generate different lists of the standard used in the equipment, have restrictions in the zoom or when you want to focus the image of some device. Another thing that happens, more rarely, is the setting of frames or bitrate is limited.
For these reasons, it is very important that, before integrating the equipment through the ONVIF protocol, the number of the software version being used is verified so as not to incur these drawbacks and to ensure the total efficiency between them.
Functionalities
In addition to the video settings and utilities, other important functions can be worked through the ONVIF Protocol, such as the use of alarms, audiometry, PTZ control, analytical video, among many others, varying according to the updates provided by the manufacturer.
Currently, there are two versions of this standard, which are 1.x and 2.x. However, the former is already outdated and obsolete and no manufacturer sells more.
Therefore, the most up-to-date has a variety of profiles that allow you to support different schedules and applications. Understand better below!
Profile S
Considered the most basic model, it can be found in the overwhelming majority of marketed security devices because it performs the most common known functions. This profile only supports so-called "streaming videos" or video streaming, made from the camera to the primary monitoring source.
It has the direct advantage of low cost and is simple maintenance, being therefore one of the best selling by companies in this field.
Profile G
This already has a greater range of functionalities, covering the storage of the recordings, allowing this special control in case, for example, to save information in the memory card and to consult it through a VMS, if need be. It is capable of supporting simple operations, such as audio, such as metadata.
This is clearly a huge benefit for a shopkeeper because it can prevent or identify offenders who commit theft within establishments or even for monitoring employees without having to be in the moment to catch a certain action.
Profile Q
This is the most advanced profile currently, giving the manager the permission to detect camera
