The meeting was attended by dozens of developers who received updates from each working group within the industry organisation. The PSIA 1.0 API Media Device specification was ratified and released for public use three weeks ago.
The working implementation came from IQinVision, whose vice president of engineering and CTO Ian Johnston said: “IQinVision is proud to be the first of many to integrate the released 1.0 PSIA interface on our 4 series line of cameras.
“IQinVision is leading the pack to drive integration. We’re also developing partnerships with a host of VMS companies to continue the progression of the PSIA spec.”
A statement from the PSIA said: “IP network camera manufacturer, IQinVision, is the first company to deploy the PSIA 1.0 device specification into an IQ 4 Series camera. This deployment saves software manufacturers significant time and money as it eliminates the need to write individual drivers.
“The IQ 4 is automatically recognized as a camera and streams video from one driver written on the open standards specification.”
“We’re thrilled to see such enthusiasm coming from manufacturers,” said Dave Bunzel, executive director for the PSIA.
“To show a working implementation just three weeks after ratification testifies to the ease of implementation of the API spec and the significant interest by manufacturers in having truly open standards in this industry.”
In addition to demonstrating the first working implementation by IQinVision, discussions at the meeting were held from the chairmen of several working groups.
The analytics group announced plans to release a .9 version of the baseline document in June 2009, focusing on alerts and metadata, and the IP video group offered developers the opportunity to attend a “plugfest” where manufacturers can test products alongside others for real interoperability.
