GeoVision Interoperability
GeoVision network video recorder (NVR) and video managing software (VMS) are based on an open platform in which the NVR/VMS has published application programming interface (API) to allow developers to alter the functionality of GeoVision NVR/VMS. This enables GeoVision to support over 1,000 IP camera models from multiple vendors such as Axis, Arecont Vision, Bosch, Cannon, Panasonic, Pelco, Samsung, Sony, etc. GeoVision’s growing line of over 70 IP camera models are also fully compliant with the ONVIF standard, ensuring compatibility with software from VMS companies like Exacq Technology, Genetec, VideoInsight, and many others.

The interoperability of GeoVision products provide our users with a variety of benefits. Users have the freedom to integrate the best software and hard-ware according to the specific budget and needs of the project. Cost of own-ership is also reduced with the minimization of integration costs, enabling users to choose the most suitable combination of products regardless of vendor.
