Does anyone know what ONVIF's plans are with regard to h.265?
The fact that searching for H.265 on the ONVIF site returns nothing leads me to believe one of the following is true:
- ONVIF is totally prepared for H.265: if the camera and the recorder both support HEVC then it will encapsulate it, if either does not they will fall back automatically to h.264.
- ONVIF is totally unprepared for H.265: since it is not a supported CODEC, major work remains, likely spurring at least a minor resurgence of 'direct drivers' written for specific camera-VMS interactions, i.e, one-offs.
If 2 or something close to it is true, it's unfortunately coming at the nadir of willful interoperability between VMS and camera vendors.
Does anyone know or perhaps the official ONVIF envoy would be moved to speak on this matter?
