Exclusive: ONVIF Unveils Profile V Release Candidate for Cloud Video

ONVIF has just released the Release Candidate of its new Profile V standard for cloud-based video surveillance systems, marking a major step toward greater interoperability in cloud security solutions. The new profile will enable end users, system integrators, and manufacturers to build cloud video systems based on open standards, without being tied to a single vendor or proprietary platform. This means that ONVIF-conformant products from different manufacturers will be able to work together seamlessly and be replaced without redesigning the entire system.

According to ONVIF, Profile V extends the interoperability principles that transformed IP video surveillance two decades ago into the cloud environment. The draft specification is now available to ONVIF member companies, allowing them to begin developing and testing conformant products ahead of the final standard, which is expected to be published in approximately six months. During this period, manufacturers will be able to verify interoperability using ONVIF’s testing tool and contribute to refining the specification before its official release.

Once finalized, Profile V is expected to give users greater freedom in choosing cameras, storage, and cloud platforms while accelerating the development of an open cloud video ecosystem.

More information about the new standard is available in the ONVIF Profile V Draft
