It's a lot of feature but the implementation is scalable. Manufacturer can only support a small subset and the software will adjust itself with the device's capabilities.
In the Genetec protocol package, on top of the documentation we provide a certification tool test your device and a demo software license to develop your integration.
If you want more information on the Genetec protocol, do not hesitate to contact me.

Hi Jo, How does the Genetec protocol contrast to ONVIF/PSIA? What does Genetec recommend for 3rd party camera manufacturers to implement?
ReplyDeleteThe genetec protocol offers a simple and fast way to integrate tighly with Omnicast. Since only Genetec is responsible for the protocol, it moves faster and supports more Omnicast features than ONVIF and PSIA.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, PSIA or ONVIF offer a generic way to integrate with multiple VMS. It requires definitely more time to implement and test but the device will work with other VMS.
It's also possible to start with the Genetec protocol and move to ONVIF or PSIA later. Some concepts like RTSP streaming are the same for all 3 implementations.
