In today’s fast-moving world of surveillance technology, businesses and organisations need smarter, more adaptable, and seamlessly connected security systems. iVSEC cameras have long been recognised for combining powerful performance with intelligent video analytics. Now, with the release of the V8.2.4 firmware update, iVSEC takes integration and intelligence to the next level — introducing full support for ONVIF Profile M, alongside Profiles S, T, and G.

This advancement enhances AI-driven detection, improves interoperability with third-party Video Management Systems (VMS), and delivers a more connected and efficient security experience.

What is ONVIF and Why Profile M Matters

ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global standard that ensures IP-based security products from different brands can communicate effortlessly. With support for multiple ONVIF profiles, iVSEC ensures flexibility, compatibility, and long-term system scalability.

Here’s a quick look at what each profile delivers:

• Profile S – Manages video streaming and basic recording functions.

• Profile T – Provides advanced streaming capabilities, including H.265 compression and HTTPS encryption for secure transmission.

• Profile G – Enables local video storage and direct retrieval from the camera.

• Profile M (New) – Adds standardised metadata and event handling, making it possible to unlock enhanced AI analytics such as:

  • Object and face metadata

  • Licence plate and vehicle recognition

  • Object counting and IoT integration through MQTT events

By adopting Profile M, iVSEC cameras integrate more effectively with leading VMS platforms like Milestone and Nx Witness, offering greater control and flexibility for complex surveillance environments.

Smarter Detection with AI-Driven Video Analytics

iVSEC’s AI-powered analytics take security intelligence to the next level by detecting and classifying objects in real time — improving accuracy and reducing false alerts.

Key features include:

• Human & Vehicle Detection – Filters out irrelevant movement (such as shadows or animals) while focusing on real human and vehicle activity.

• Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) – Automatically identifies and records vehicle plates, perfect for access control and parking management.

• Facial Recognition – Supports identity verification and secure access to restricted areas.

These smart features help organisations improve situational awareness and streamline their response time in critical moments.

Thermal Imaging: Reliable Monitoring in Any Condition

Beyond visible light surveillance, iVSEC thermal cameras deliver consistent monitoring even in low-visibility conditions such as fog, smoke, or total darkness. Ideal for industrial sites, warehouses, and critical infrastructure, thermal imaging provides:

• Detection of heat signatures invisible to standard cameras.

• Early fire detection and monitoring of temperature-sensitive zones.

• Reliable coverage in high-risk or remote environments.

Future-Ready Security from iVSEC

With the addition of ONVIF Profile M, iVSEC strengthens its position as a leader in intelligent and interoperable surveillance solutions. From AI analytics to thermal imaging, iVSEC delivers the tools needed for modern, scalable, and future-proof security systems.

Whether you’re protecting a corporate facility, monitoring an industrial site, or managing public safety, iVSEC cameras provide the reliability, intelligence, and flexibility you can trust.
