| Source: VideoIQ
BEDFORD, MA--(Marketwire - March 2, 2009) - VideoIQ, the inventor of the world's first and
only intelligent surveillance camera with a built-in DVR, today announced
its contribution and commitment to the advancement of key industry
standards for system interoperability and integration, including the Security Industry Association's (SIA)
Open Systems Integration and Performance Standards (OSIPS) Digital Video
Interface (DVI). When consolidated and harmonized into a single, published
standard for public use, the OSIPS DVI will provide customers with greater
choice in intelligent video surveillance solutions.
VideoIQ is actively investing in standards that enable enhanced
multi-vendor integration, such as those for data, video and communications
interoperability. VideoIQ's Chief Scientist, Dr. Mahesh Saptharishi,
contributes to the analytics object models and serves as the current
technical editor for the OSIPS DVI. In this role, Saptharishi helps to
ensure that all data for control and monitoring can be understood and
exchanged between multiple vendors' IP video surveillance systems, meeting
both the needs of product developers and end users.
"We believe that customers and the video surveillance industry at large
will benefit dramatically from the advancement of key standards such as
OSIPS," said Saptharishi. "VideoIQ's commitment to heterogeneous technology
integration, as evidenced by the recent release of our open protocol SDK, gives
customers choice and access to best-in-breed intelligent security
solutions."
Per Hanssen, chair of SIA Standards' Component Subcommittee, said,
"VideoIQ's efforts to advance OSIPS and other key industry standards
embodies the very reason OSIPS was created -- to ease the development of
large security systems and enable interoperability. VideoIQ's commitment in
this arena will help customers achieve stellar performance of their
security systems and a lower total cost of ownership, while technology
vendors will be able to realize new business opportunities."
In addition to OSIPS DVI, other key standards adopted by VideoIQ are
Representational State Transfer (REST), Real Time Streaming Protocol
(RTSP), Network Time Protocol (NTP), ZeroConf (Automatic Camera Discovery)
and many others.
VideoIQ's open protocol SDK for the VideoIQ iCVR provides product
developers with the ability to seamlessly integrate their solutions with
the camera, delivering to customers a new level of intelligence and
proactive protection. Parties interested in obtaining the SDK for
integration can contact SDK@videoiq.net.
