Allied Telesis will facilitate the centralised management of large and medium-sized surveillance networks by integrating ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) specifications with their Autonomous Management Framework (AMF) technology. Competition among manufacturers of network components and solutions has been extending into the growing surveillance market for some time.
But to date, Allied Telesis is the only manufacturer of Ethernet switches that integrates the Profile Q protocol. This set of specifications for IP-based video systems and related management software aims at seamless interoperability and is likely to become an open industry standard. The integration into Allied Telesis network components is good news particularly for system integrators and service providers who want to support their customers’ camera and IoT networks with automated control, management, and maintenance.
