Just a trait of NAND flash that includes SD cards, SSD and flash chips in cameras. Maybe just paranoid, but I'm worried about the NAND flash even in the camera because I have an Arduino with a temp sensor updating the OSD for a camera with temperature readings on a web cam. This way, deployment costs are much reduced, network bandwidth usage is minimal and is all round a better way forward.ĭid not know you gave up on CK years ago. It allows us to address the devices from the cloud and retrieve the 0.1% of valuable video, whilst leaving the 99.9% of dross on the device. Our engineers gave up on the supplied info and found it quicker to use wireshark running applications.įor us, edge recording cameras are a game changer.
Onvif profile g code#
The onvif docs and example source code are pitiful. It won't be long before we have 128Gb cards as the norm with the better memory technology and all this early stage FUD will go. The good news is that Moore's law will sort this out soon. The higher end SanDisk ones are the items to have. In our experience (just like with cheap ebay camera specials) cheap no-brand sd-cards are asking for trouble. The one vendor who doesn't in our experience is d-link so hats off to them.īuellwinkle, 40th Floor: Yes, the weak point of edge cameras is cheap SD-cards. It's surprising but the majority of camera vendors have issues in the area. We would want to contribute some soak tests to ONVIF. We find that cameras that work for the first hour or two, have issues after prolonged testing. We have been considering joining in the past, to help shape the conformance tests, as today we believe they are limited. I don't know how much sway we will have compared to the build boys. Jhonovich: Yes, we are considering Onvif membership. Oh well, we stick with the proprietary Axis api until Profile G momentum builds.
I was disappointed after a long, long run-up to release, that the Camera vendors didn't have a part of their offerings ready to go at the release of the G specification and today have no clear position if their currently shipping edge recording cameras will have this support added. That way we have an clean and efficient architecture with the cameras being a simple plug'n'go.
The next logical step for us is to remove the final piece of needless complexity and use the on-board storage. Thus our focus on edge recording cameras which are directly connected to our cloud service.įor us Onvif profile S has been a positive experience (single piece of code that works seamlessly with a wide range of cameras). With all things cloud, we are keen to have as much in the cloud as possible and have a minimal physical footprint/configuration. We are an VM's (or better described as Managed Video as a service).
