Alcatraz AI, a globally renowned company in physical security technologies, has announced that it has achieved ONVIF certification. ONVIF is a non-profit organization with the mission to provide and promote standardized interfaces for effective interoperability of IP-based physical security products.

ONVIF standards

Alcatraz AI is applying these standards to its facial authentication solution, The Rock, which combines advanced AI and 3D sensing technologies, which provide facilities with enterprise-grade identity verification that is needed to create secure spaces.

While most product manufacturers focus on a single market segment, ONVIF certification allows Alcatraz AI to bridge the gap between access control and video management with a single device. Obtaining this certification gives partners and end-users the confidence that the Alcatraz Rock will work seamlessly with any existing Video Management System (VMS) platform.

The Rock can function as an ONVIF camera

Alcatraz AI’s Rock can now function as an ONVIF camera and is certified with Profile S and Profile T, to provide IP-based video streaming. The Rock has always been equipped with a 2 MP camera, as part of its sensor array, which makes the inclusion of the ONVIF capabilities simple for existing users.

The video stream can be added to any existing VMS, giving security teams a unique door-level perspective of who is accessing an area, without an additional piece of hardware. This brings an additional awareness that most doors and openings never have.

Developing products based on open standards

Developing products based on open standards, such as ONVIF, is a core design principle at Alcatraz,” said Blaine Frederick, the Vice President (VP) of Product at Alcatraz AI.

He adds, “Adding ONVIF capabilities to the Rock and having it certified, allows us to bring value to customers, by ensuring product compatibility and eliminating proprietary vendor lock-in.
