4.1
ONVIF
The Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) is an open industry forum for the
development of a global standard for the interface of IP-based physical security products. ONVIF
is committed to the adoption of IP in the security market. The ONVIF specification ensures
interoperability between products regardless of manufacturer. It defines a common protocol for
the exchange of information between network video devices including automatic device
discovery, video streaming and intelligence metadata. The TC620-PID fully supports ONVIF. It
has been tested to support ONVIF Profile S.
4.2
OSA
Siqura's Open Streaming Architecture (OSA) consists of a standard set of open communication
protocols to govern media streaming via RTSP and equipment management via HTTP. OSA
enables easy integration of the TC620-PID with third-party products. The protocol consists
mainly of different CGI (Common Gateway Interface) program calls for listing and configuring
parameters. A detailed description of the HTTP API is given in the
Siqura Programming Interface
specification which can be downloaded at www.siqura.com.
4.3
Web UI
Using the TC620-PID's web server is the most straightforward way to access the unit. The
webpages enable you to configure the settings of the TC620-PID and view live video images from
a standard web browser.
