ONVIF Steering Committee Chair Per Björkdahl and ONVIF Communication Committee Chair Jonathan Lewit will be speaking on behalf of ONVIF on “Using ONVIF for Network Connected Security” on April 4, 2017.

The joint presentation will focus on how end users, security system designers and systems integrators can use ONVIF to integrate access control, video surveillance and other security and operational elements as part of a security deployment. The session will also provide an overview of the history and current profiles of ONVIF, as well as opportunities for industry involvement within ONVIF standardisation activities.

Lewit and Björkdahl will also join a panel discussion entitled “The Standards Developers Panel,” to include panelists representing SIA and other organisations involved in standards initiatives affecting the physical security industry. The standards panel will be held on Tuesday, April 4.“Standards are a major facilitator of the physical security industry’s dramatic expansion to encompass much more than just video surveillance and access control,” said Per Björkdahl, Chair of the ONVIF Steering Committee. “It is important that we continue the conversation as an industry about how standards can continue to grow as a resource for systems integrators and end users in their businesses.”
