ONVIF®, the global standardisation initiative for IP-based physical security products, is pleased to return to ISC West 2024, April 9-12 in Las Vegas, at Booth L0 to continue the industry-wide conversation about open standards, interoperability, and the freedom of choice that standards provide for end users, systems integrators and consultants.

This freedom of choice is important in several technology segments that will be major themes of this year’s ISC West event, including Artificial Intelligence, video analytics, and the industry’s transition to the cloud. 

Cloud and cloud services

This transition is the central theme of a panel discussion, “Defining the Cloud: Are Standards the Answer?” to be held at 10 am on Tuesday, April 9 in Venetian 308 at the Venetian Expo as part of the SIA Education at ISC conference programme.

ONVIF Chairman Leo Levit will participate in the panel as it explores cloud topics

ONVIF Chairman Leo Levit will participate in the panel as it explores cloud topics, such as clarifying the definitions of cloud and cloud services, the benefits and drawbacks of cloud adoption, and the differences between proprietary and open standards-based approaches to cloud. Other expert panelists include Joshua Anderson, Director of Surveillance and Technology, Cherokee Nation Entertainment;  Mike Dunn, Strategic Innovation and Business Development, Wachter; Josh Woodhouse, lead analyst and founder of Novaira Insights and Brian Karas, President of Pelican Zero.

Engaging with new technologies and approaches

While our industry navigates these significant technological shifts, the platforms for discussion, debate, and conversation offered by events such as ISC West are invaluable to all who attend,” said Levit.

As the de facto standards provider of standards for the physical security industry, ONVIF will continue to be deeply engaged in developing specifications and profiles that provide the market with interoperable products that support the transition to these new technologies and approaches.”
