The
new standard is expected to comprise of
interfaces for specifications such as video
streaming, device discovery and intelligence
metadata.
The
framework of the standard, incorporating
the key elements of network video product
interoperability, will be released in October
2008 at the Security show in Essen, Germany.
The
main goal of this new standard is to facilitate
the integration of various brands of network
video equipment. It also aims to help manufacturers,
software developers and independent software
vendors in ensuring product interoperability.
A unified open standard will also offer
end-users greater flexibility of choice,
thus enabling them to select products from
different vendors in order to develop systems
that fully meet their needs.
This
cooperation represents a great leap forward
in establishing an international open forum
focusing on network video surveillance.
For manufacturers of network video hardware
and software, the forum and its standard
will be an efficient way to ensure product
interoperability, stated Bosch EVP
Gert Ipersen.
