Tomorrow, Per Björkdahl, Chairman of the ONVIF Steering Committee, will participate in a panel discussion, “Seamless Integration of Innovative Security Systems with Traditional Infrastructure”. Attendees will learn how to deploy a holistic solution to meet the needs of both security and operations in an industrial organisation through the development of an integrated security strategy. Björkdahl will be joined by moderator Adil Abdel Hadi, Director Operations and Development – Security Training Cadre Centre, Dubai Police Academy; and panelists Simon Whitehouse, Managing Director, SGW Safety and Security; Eng. Arif Al Janahi of the Security Industry Regulatory Agency (SIRA) and Eng. Mohamed Salih, also of SIRA.

Stuart Rawling, Head of Segment Marketing at Pelco and ONVIF steering committee member, will also discuss the real meaning of various industry buzzwords and, as these meanings evolve, how to best plan for and mitigate risk in light of the evolution of new technology. His presentation, entitled “Organizing the Data Chaos – The Impact of the New World of Connected Devices on the Real World,” will be on Sunday afternoon.

“ONVIF is excited to participate in these sessions that address two diverse but crucial areas facing our industry,” said Björkdahl. “It is our hope that, by providing interoperability through our different profiles, the industry will transition to easier integrations, and in turn be able to focus on new solutions for specific challenges.”
