CHAPTER 29
ONVIF
29.1  Overview
IP-based security products use a specific protocol for communication. One of the most common 
protocols is ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum). ONVIF is a standard interface for 
interoperability of IP-based security products.
When ONVIF is enabled and configured, the Switch can obtain information from connected ONVIF-
compatible devices, such as a device’s system name and IP address. This lets you know which ONVIF-
compatible devices, for example IP cameras and NVR (network video recorders), are connected to the 
Switch.
29.1.1  What You Can Do
Use the ONVIF screen (Section 29.2 on page 235) to enable the ONVIF protocol on the Switch.
29.2  ONVIF Screen
