ONVIF Newsletter April 2023
Greetings from Leo Levit,
We’ve had quite a fantastic start to 2023 already at ONVIF! With our first face-to-face meeting and our largest tradeshow of the year already in the books, we are reflecting on the feedback and validation we received at those events, both from inside our organization and the industry.
We are pleased to hear the positive comments that ONVIF is headed in the right direction. Our latest Profile M, which addresses metadata handling and provides a bridge to IoT and cloud environments, reflects the needs of our changing industry. As the growth in cloud and IoT continues to accelerate, ONVIF is providing the underlying standardization infrastructure that allows companies to continue to innovate in these areas, further moving the industry forward.
Kind regards,
Leo Levit
Chairman, ONVIF Steering Committee

From its booth at ISC West, ONVIF is able to educate and hear questions and feedback from a wide cross section of the industry, including end users and systems integrators, security consultants who specify ONVIF conformant products, and manufacturers and service providers who would like to become ONVIF members and have ONVIF conformant products. The ONVIF booth highlighted the seven different profiles available from ONVIF.
