Across the GCC, digital transformation is accelerating fast, with the cloud computing market growing at nearly 20% annually. As organizations expand beyond traditional security systems, they’re adopting cloud-based solutions and integrating capabilities like IP audio. But more technology shouldn’t mean more complexity. ONVIF standards ensures systems remain flexible, scalable, and interoperable, whether on-premise, in the cloud, or hybrid. Because the future of security isn’t one system. It’s an ecosystem. #ONVIF #UAE #KSA #Qatar #SmartCities #DigitalTransformation #GCC

Don't miss this insightful technical discussion this Thursday from 09:00 to 13:00 with our own Roberto Licari, ONVIF Ambassador, and other industry experts from AIPROS about the everyday benefits of integrated solutions! Register here: https://lnkd.in/e4CREpWv

The Security Event is underway at NEC Birmingham this week — and ONVIF is proud to be part of it. As a sponsor, our presence extends across the show floor. But what matters more than visibility is what's happening across hundreds of stands: ONVIF member companies are out in force, demonstrating products built on open, interoperable standards. That's the ONVIF ecosystem in action. TSE is the UK's most important gathering for our industry. If you're walking the floor this week, pay attention to how often you see the ONVIF logo. Chances are, it's more than you'd expect. 📍 NEC Birmingham | 28–30 April 2026 https://lnkd.in/enrzfxS #ONVIF #TheSecurityEvent #OpenStandards #PhysicalSecurity #TSE2026

Smart cities are quickly adding connected infrastructure, all over the world. But when the security systems behind that infrastructure can't talk to each other, cities end up with fragmented visibility and limited ability to act. That's an interoperability problem, and it's one open standards are built to solve. Our latest blog explores why interoperable security infrastructure is foundational to smart city design: vendor independence, long-term investment protection, and data that can actually move between platforms and become actionable intelligence. Building the cities of the future isn't just about adding more technology. It's about making sure it works together.

It’s 2026, “Interoperability” is the buzzword of the year, and now your CEO has questions. #TechRegret #UseOpenStandards #ONVIF #Interoperability #GCC #OpenStandards

Our April 2026 newsletter is live and the highlights include our reflections on ISC West this year - a validation that our work in standards is heading in the right direction. Something was different on the show floor. The conversations were more grounded. Cloud and AI weren't talking points — they were deployments, outcomes, lessons learned. The industry has moved on from "if" and is getting deep into "how." In addition to our ISC West recap, this quarter covers Roberto Licari's appearances at regional events across Southeast Europe, ONVIF's upcoming session at Secutech Taipei, Leo Levit at the Security Industry Association (SIA)'s annual standards webinar, and the announcement of our 2025 Recognition Award recipients.

We're at Secutech Taipei this week — and the timing couldn't be better. Thursday at 10:10 AM, ONVIF Communications Committee Member Joyce Zhou presents "Matter of Trust: Media Authenticity in Video Surveillance." AI and video integrity is a conversation the industry can't afford to keep kicking down the road, and this session gets into exactly what open standards do about it. ONVIF Ambassador Roberto Licari is onsite all week. If you want to sit down and talk membership, the ONVIF profile portfolio, conformance, or where we're headed on access control, AI, analytics, cloud, and audio — grab a slot on his calendar: https://lnkd.in/dSRqV7qG     本週 ONVIF 正在台北國際安全科技博覽會現場 明天上午 10:10，ONVIF 傳播委員會成員 Joyce Zhou 將主講「信任之本：視頻監控中的媒體真實性」。AI 與影像完整性的議題是整個行業都無法再迴避的話題，而這場議程將深入探討開放標準如何應對這一挑戰。 ONVIF 大使 Roberto Licari 本週全程在場。如果您希望深入探討會員資格、ONVIF 規範組合、合規認證，或我們在門禁控制、AI、分析、雲端及音訊等領域的最新進展，歡迎預約與他會面： https://lnkd.in/dSRqV7qG #ONVIF #SecuTech #PhysicalSecurity #SecurityTechnology #Interoperability #Deepfakes

What does it actually take to build a resilient smart city? ONVIF Chairman Leo Levit tackles that question in a new op-ed for The National News, arguing that public safety can't be bolted on after the fact. It has to be designed in from the start. The stakes are real. Fragmented, proprietary systems create the kind of vulnerabilities that only become visible when conditions shift. Open standards are what make the difference, enabling cities to integrate new technology, avoid vendor lock-in, and scale without expensive overhauls. The piece is worth a read if you're thinking about where smart city infrastructure is headed in the Gulf and beyond. https://lnkd.in/ekM6_zmz #SmartCities #PublicSafety #OpenStandards #ONVIF #UrbanResilience #MiddleEast

📽️ Your surveillance footage just got a lot easier to fake. As AI-generated content becomes more sophisticated, the authenticity of recorded video matters — for security operations, for investigations, for anything that ends up in a legal proceeding. It's no longer a hypothetical concern but an evidentiary one. ONVIF is joining #Secutech 2026 in Taipei this year as a Knowledge Partner, and on April 23 at 10:10 AM, ONVIF Communications Committee Member Joyce Zhou will address this directly in a featured session: "Matter of Trust: Media Authenticity in Video Surveillance." ONVIF Ambassador Roberto Licari will also be onsite for anyone who wants to go deeper on membership, profiles, conformance, or how open, vendor-independent standards apply to what you're building. His calendar is open — book time at the show here: https://lnkd.in/dSRqV7qG And if you haven't yet read Roberto's recent conversation with asmag.com on video authentication and where ONVIF is headed, it's worth your time before the session: https://lnkd.in/dYkaqat9    #Secutech2026 #PhysicalSecurity #SecurityIndustry   。偽造監視錄影如今已變得輕而易舉 隨著 AI 生成內容日益精進，錄製影像的真實性變得至關重要——無論是安保運營、調查取證，還是任何可能涉及法律訴訟的場合。這不再是假設性的擔憂，而是一個實實在在的證據層面的問題。 今年，ONVIF作為「知識合作夥伴」出席台北國際安全科技博覽會（Secutech Taipei），並將於 4 月 23 日上午 10:10，由 ONVIF 傳播委員會成員 Joyce Zhou 主講精選議程：「信任之本：視頻監控中的媒體真實性」。ONVIF 大使 Roberto Licari 也將親臨現場，歡迎各位貴賓蒞臨參加共同探討有關會員資格、規範標準、合規認證，或探討開放式、廠商中立標準如何應用於您的業務等您感興趣的話題。 Roberto 的行事曆已開放預約，歡迎在展會期間安排會面：https://lnkd.in/dSRqV7qG 如果您尚未閱讀 Roberto 近期接受 A&S 雜誌關於視訊認證及 ONVIF 未來發展方向的訪談，不妨在本次會議開始前抽出時間一讀：：https://lnkd.in/dYkaqat9

95-98% of security system activations are non-emergencies. That number hasn't moved much in decades, but the reason it might finally change is more interesting than you'd expect. ONVIF Ambassador Roberto Licari joined the latest SecurityInformed.com/SourceSecurity.com.com executive roundtable on false alarm reduction, and his take is that's not just about smarter AI. It's about whether that intelligence can actually travel between systems. The roundtable is definitely worth a read if you're thinking about where analytics, open standards, and real-world alarm response are going to intersect.
