For sure Omnicast will support ONVIF and PSIA, I'm sure Milestone will do the same.

We created the genetec protocol before ONVIF/PSIA initiatives to help camera manufacturers that could not wait an industry standard.

The Genenec protocol is very lightweight to implement and manufacturer can support PSIA on Genetec protocol at the same time if needed. The protocol is scalable; manufacturers can only implement some partion of the protocol and still be compatible with our software.

But I agree, the best solution for everyone is to have an official standard supported across multiple VMS vendor and camera manufacturers.

So what this means is that if camera manufacturers develop their APIs to support the proprietary Genetec and Milestone protocols they will have compatibility. That sounds very much the same as what we have now; perhaps a veiled attempt to shift the burden of driver development to the device manufacturers. Truth is that is is NOT a standard and that products incorporating PSIA and ONVIF are already coming out. Why don't Genetec and/or Milestone write PSIA and ONVIF drivers instead?
