ONVIF is an open industry Forum focused on the development of a global standard for the interface of network video products.
Members are committed to the adoption of network video in the security market, while the ONVIF standard is intended to ensure interoperability between network video products regardless of the manufacturer.
As a full member of ONVIF, Samsung Techwin will have the opportunity to actively participate in the development of the standard into the future.
Speaking to info4security about the news, James Smith – European marketing manager of Samsung Techwin’s professional security division – said: “Samsung Techwin’s iPOLiS range of IP/network products will be heavily bolstered over the coming months, with every new unit being ONVIF compliant. We’re very pleased to be able to provide end users with the widest possible choice by ensuring interoperability with a host of other equipment.”
Backing of a huge corporation
Established in 1977 and part of the Samsung Group, Samsung Techwin is a global leader in the supply of leading professional and industrial products and services. Employing over 7,000 staff worldwide, the company is an innovator in many markets including security, surface mount technology, aviation, defence and engineering.
Though Samsung Techwin has operated in the security market for many years, in March 2008 the company set up a dedicated professional security division to service Europe. Since then, Samsung Techwin has quickly become one of Europe’s fastest-growing professional security brands. Offices in a number of territories offer local support and services to clients.
This commitment ensures that the company has the flexibility and know-how to develop technology, services and products to meet the specific needs of the professional security market, while at the same time benefitting from the backing of one of the world’s largest and best-known corporations.
