ONVIF®, the leading global standardization initiative for IP-based physical security products, announced today that it is a sponsor of IFSEC International 2017 in London, 20-22 June, 2017, at ExCel London. IFSEC International is Europe’s largest security exhibition and more than 27,000 security professionals are expected to attend this year’s event.

“Trade shows like IFSEC International give the security community the opportunity to see how our members leverage the ONVIF interface to enable the deployment of exciting and innovative solutions to a broad swath of markets, from easily attaching video to point of sale data for retail to linking traffic cameras with municipal video management systems for more comprehensive security,” said Jonathan Lewit, ONVIF Communications Committee Chair. “These developments highlight just how quickly the Internet of Things is growing and the vital role that standards can continue to play in its evolution going forward.”

ONVIF will sponsor the IFSEC Cafe on stand B550, where attendees will find seating and educational materials about ONVIF. In addition to its sponsorship, ONVIF will be represented by 79 member companies exhibiting at IFSEC International this year.
