Ring App Integrates ONVIF-Compatible Cameras

SANTA MONICA, Calif. —  Ring announces the rollout of a new integration for cameras that support ONVIF, a global standardization initiative for IP-based physical security products.

Available in late April, Ring customers with Ring Alarm Pro and a Ring Protect Pro plan will be able to onboard select ONVIF cameras to the Ring app for simple control and access on one platform. ONVIF cameras must be able to stream at 1080p or lower and support H264 encoding.

The integration will allow residential and business customers to add an additional layer of security to their existing ONVIF-compatible cameras, and gain access to Ring features, such as Live View, Real-time Notifications, Event History and Timeline, expanding Ring’s capabilities outside of just Ring-built devices, according to the company.

“The ability for our neighbors to integrate their ONVIF-compatible cameras into the Ring app is something I’ve been excited about for a long time. This will allow our many residential and business customers who use these cameras to easily link their existing systems within the Ring app, giving them greater peace of mind and the ability to use Ring technology to help secure what’s most important to them,” says Jamie Siminoff, chief inventor and founder of Ring.

Formed in 2008, the Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF) is open to manufacturers, software developers, consultants, systems integrators, end users and other interested groups.

The standard was created to provide and promote open interfaces that in turn will increase freedom of choice for end users. The standard includes eight unique profiles to address different areas of technology: Profile S for streaming video; Profile G for recording and storage; Profile C for physical access control; Profile Q for improved out-of-the-box functionality; Profile A for broader access control configuration; Profile T for advanced streaming; Profile M for metadata and events for video analytics; and Profile D for access control peripherals.

Minnesota AG Calls for Cancellation of Home Security Contracts for Alleged Fraud

STEARNS COUNTY, Minn. — Bring Me the News reports that Minnesota’s Attorney General, Keith Ellison, says he’s gotten consumers in Stearns County out of home security contracts after they were misled by a door-to-door salesman. According to the report, Ellison’s office announced that home security companies Skyline Security Management and Safe Home Security have agreed to their cancel contracts with customers in and around Stearns County who purchased their systems from door-to-door salesman Gary Harvey. “Door-to-door salesmen and their employers are in the business of trust-building,” Ellison said in a statement. “They know they need to have your trust to sell you their products, particularly expensive products like security systems that are supposed to keep your home safe. When that trust is betrayed, it’s emotionally and financially painful. I appreciate Skyline and Safe Home taking the right step in canceling these contracts while my office does what we can under the law to ho...

WALTHAM, Mass.—Evolv Technology has announced its partnership with Major League Baseball’s Pittsburgh Pirates, adding to the growing list of Pittsburgh, Pa. venues that have teamed up with Evolv to help keep people safe, including the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and Acrisure Stadium, home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
