ONVIF®, the renowned global standardisation initiative for IP-based physical security products, has released the first course in a new online learning initiative designed to promote greater knowledge and understanding of the workings of ONVIF.
The new 'Introduction to ONVIF' course offers a comprehensive overview of how the organisation and its standardised interfaces work for the interoperability of IP-based physical security products and services.
Benefits of ONVIF standards
The e-learning course is free of charge and is available to anyone interested in learning more about ONVIF
Available on the ONVIF website, the interactive course educates users on the ONVIF mission and organisation, the benefits of ONVIF standards, what ONVIF profiles and add-ons are and practical applications for both, and the importance of the conformance process.
The e-learning course is free of charge and is available to anyone interested in learning more about ONVIF.
“With today’s rapidly advancing technology advancements, education and knowledge sharing is increasingly important for organisations of all types to achieve their business goals,” said Leo Levit, Chairman, ONVIF Steering Committee.
