FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Basler Becomes ONVIF Member
Ahrensburg, 13 October 2011 – ONVIF, a global and open industry
forum for the standardization of IP product communication, has
welcomed Basler as a user member.
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is an organization
founded in 2008 by Axis Communications, Bosch Security Systems,
and Sony. Its aim is to create a standard for IP communication within
video surveillance and other physical security areas.
ONVIF membership is open to manufacturers, software developers,
consultants, system integrators, end-users, and other interest groups
that wish to participate in the activities of this forum. The ONVIF
standard strives for interoperability between network video products
regardless of manufacturer.
Under this global interface standard, Basler’s partners, distributors,
and end users can harness the full potential of network video
technology, and benefit from easy integration and reduced total cost.
In addition, Basler aims to facilitate the changeover from analog to
digital camera technology.
Basler has already begun developing ONVIF-compatible products.
“We have always supported open standards to provide our customers
with highly flexible platforms and applications,” explains Gerrit
Schreiber, Product Manager IP Components at Basler. “As a camera
supplier, we place great emphasis on compatibility of our products
with our technology partners’ products – and we regard ONVIF as the
right basis for this."
