As an organisation developing common protocols for system interoperability, ONVIF has created a number of technical profiles which simplify integrations. This seminar will look at how the organisation is developing new solutions which will assist in the creation of bespoke system as new technologies impact on the security sector.
As technologies become smarter, the industry emphasis on selling ‘products’ must change. Customers don’t want to know what devices are being offered, but instead must understand how the systems will solve their everyday problems. This seminar will address how integrators and installers must highlight the benefits available from systems to ensure end users understand the value on offer.
As the security sector rapidly migrates onto network-based platforms, the issue of cybersecurity must be taken seriously. In many cases, regulations and legislation impacts on end users. As a result, integrators and installers must not only be aware of the changing regulations, but must also ensure they can demonstrate compliance to corporate clients.
The cloud is increasingly becoming an important element with regard to the delivery of smart systems and intelligent solutions. As enhanced flexibility is demanded by an increasing number of end users, the functionality inherent in cloud services can play a greater role in delivering accurate insights in a timely fashion.
For many years, the topology of systems has centred around a centralised approach, predominantly because the restrictions of legacy infrastructure didn’t allow any other approach. Today’s technology allows a decentralised approach, which in turn allows the design and implementation of more efficient systems.
The creation of logical rules based upon rigger events and subsequent actions is one of the most beneficial features of VMS solutions. This seminar looks at how integrators and installers can use this functionality to create bespoke solutions which deliver added value to end users.

Metadata offers a valuable addition to video surveillance data, and can provide insights which provide both security- and business-related advantages for many sites. This seminar will look at how metadata can be used to enhance system performance in an effective and cost-efficient manner, increasing the overall return on investment.
An insight into how cost effective GPU technology is gradually taking over the more CPU intensive tasks in IP Surveillance. This seminar takes a look at GPU use in AI, recorder and client side decoding and mobile transcoding creating cheaper but more powerful server technology.
As security systems increasingly gather data that can be used for both security and additional site management tasks, so there is a need to understand why different types of data, such as alphanumeric data and streaming video footage, place different demands upon storage systems.
