Surveillance recorder standards

A draft document on the proposed surveillance recorder standards that aims to set interoperability standards among different surveillance recorder manufacturers is out already.  The group spearheading this thrust is called the Physical Security Interoperability Alliance (PSIA) and is composed of major industry players such as GE, Pelco, Cisco, Texas Instruments, etc.

By setting a standard, the group aims to reduce problems related to managing various DVR and NVR brands in one system, which is a typical problem of large organizations which needs to maintain several backend systems to control and manage varying subsystems.
