More than 30,000 products in the $120 billion global physical security market meet ONVIF’s conformance requirements for interoperability.
SAN RAMON, Calif. – Global IP-based physical security products standardization initiative ONVIF announces that more than 30,000 product models in the $120 billion global physical security market meet the group‘s conformance requirements for interoperability.
This new milestone means that the number of ONVIF conformant, interoperable products has doubled in the last three years and tripled since 2018, according to the announcement.
“Security system integrators and end users around the world rely on products that conform to ONVIF interoperability standards to create security systems using best of breed components, regardless of manufacturer, to meet the specific needs of their organizations,” the announcement says.
“The demand for open systems is growing exponentially as organizations increasingly prioritize interoperability and freedom of choice for their security systems and beyond,” says Leo Levit, chairman of the ONVIF Steering Committee, in the announcement.
“The rapid growth rate in ONVIF conformant products exemplifies that market demand as well as to the work of our member companies that have established these successful specifications,” he says.
