ONVIF has released the Release Candidate for Profile V, our new draft standard for cloud-based video, and it marks a significant milestone for the security industry. Profile V brings ONVIF’s brand-independent principle into the cloud, giving end users, integrators, and manufacturers a standards-based way to build cloud video systems that are not tied to any single provider. Conformant products from different manufacturers work together, and any ONVIF conformant product can be added or replaced without redesigning the whole system.
