ONVIF Working on Cloud IP Video Standard
With cloud video / VSaaS rising significantly, one major problem is the lack of standards or interoperability, making proprietary, locked-in, and even hostage offerings the most common.
Now, ONVIF is working on a cloud IP video standard that aims to improve or resolve these problems.
In this post, we examine the problems, how ONVIF might resolve them, and what issues ONVIF will face.
For background, see: ONVIF Video Surveillance Tutorial.
