I agree on the aspect on accessing recorded video via ONVIF Profile G, and to lead the pack going, the next thing Milestone System should adopt is to include the device driver for ONVIF Profile G devices where Milestone is able to read and playback its recording directly without it (the recording) to pass through Milestone recording server database. Again that been said will also help Milestone to have both live and recording database accessibility from both
1. Milestone Interconnect
2. ONVIF Profile G devices (Cameras or NVRs or DVRs)
This will definitely have an impact on the current adoption of "OPEN"

I do like this feature and think others should adopt it. Is there any mention as to how it will be implemented (i.e. will there be a limit on the available channels, only one camera at a time, the number of simultaneous connections etc?). Good read, thanks.

Are they allowed to describe it using the term ONVIF even if it is not fully compatible with a published Profile?
As in "partially compliant with Profile G"

I'd be interested if seeing a test of this and if any impacts on the server CPU. Geutebruck has had the ability to "rebroadcast" cameras out as RTSP streams for a couple years now I think, but the caveat is CPU usage.

If no transcoding is required, the most difficult aspect of implementing ONVIF Out would be the RTSP server (assuming one is writing their own RTSP server, and not using open source...). So I would say ONVIF-out would be quite an easy feature for most VMS manufactures to implement, so I predict we'll see it the others quite soon. If we do, one area that will benefit are Access Control companies wishing to integrate their products with VMS's (typically a bit of a pain for Access companies). Although integrating directly to the VMS's using their SDK's will generally result in a tighter integration.

Funny how Milestone touts itself as such an OPEN company, yet it is/was only really half open.
But since there is an SDK available, I'm surprised that a third party has not created this already. Maybe they would have blocked it if someone had written it.
Even if it is just a subset of Profile G, it's a good first step. Maybe call it Profile K: (Open) Kimono.

Any words on if it needs License in the Milestone system to be able to pickup these Onvif channles, in the same way when you have an Onvif camera directly connected to the system?

Update: Aimetis notified us that they too support ONVIF Out, which they call 'ONVIF Server' (see their guide).
There is no additional cost for this and is included in all versions.
