ONVIF continues to work with its members to expand the number of IP interoperability solutions ONVIF-conformant products can provide. Profile M can be combined with other ONVIF video and access control Profiles for an integrated system based on ONVIF interfaces.įounded in 2008, ONVIF also offers Profile S for streaming video, Profile G for video recording and storage, Profile C for physical access control, Profile Q for improved out-of-the-box functionality, Profile A for broader access control configuration, Profile T for advanced video streaming and also the release candidate for Profile D for access control peripherals. An example of an IoT use case can be for room temperature control, where a Profile M camera (with MQTT support) detects humans in a room and sends an ONVIF event over MQTT to an IoT platform or application that, in turn, triggers a smart thermostat to adjust the room temperature. Profile M also supports event handling interfaces for object counting and face and number plate recognition analytics, as well as JSON-formatted events over MQTT, a protocol for IoT applications. Other uses include heat mapping in a retail store using human and geolocation metadata and vehicle mapping in a parking area by dint of using vehicle and geolocation metadata. Such metadata can be used to highlight certain objects in a video stream, trigger automatic responses and effectively store and search for video content of interest.
In the context of video, analytics metadata – which can be a variety of object classifications – has a number of uses. It will help to drive growth in the number and types of security, safety and operational efficiency applications available to practising end users.”
“The flexibility to include cloud-based and server-based services as ‘conformant devices’ also makesProfile M interesting for independent developers of software-based analytics solutions.
“ONVIF recognises that the need for interoperability has evolved beyond the traditional relationship between a hardware device and software client from different vendors,” stated Sriram Bhetanabottla, chair of the Profile M Working Group. It allows systems integrators and end users to flexibly combine solutions from different providers of edge devices or services that produce metadata and events – with VMS or cloud services and IoT applications – into one system. Profile M provides a standard way of communicating metadata and events between analytics-capable services and devices like IP cameras and clients such as video management software (VMS) or server-based/cloud-based services.
