Turnkey Streaming "Out of the Box"
The latest version supports a reduced but functional set of media and device service requests, enabling video streaming with minimal setup. -
Modular, GStreamer-Based Core
RidgeRun’s implementation is built on GStreamer Daemon, allowing users to easily expand functionality and integrate new features. -
Customizable by Design
New ONVIF services or request types can be added based on your product requirements.
Example Use Case:
A camera vendor developing a new AI-powered IP camera on Jetson Xavier NX needs to integrate with third-party VMS software. Instead of building ONVIF support from scratch, the team uses RidgeRun’s ONVIF Device Server as starting point to provide out-of-the-box Profile S compatibility. This accelerates time-to-market, reduces engineering costs, and ensures interoperability with leading security platforms.
What Makes This Unique:
RidgeRun offers a solution that can turn any Linux device into an ONVIF Profile S compliant device.
Its core is based on GStreamer (GStreamer Daemon and its modularity), allowing the user to easily add new features.
It is intended to provide ONVIF support, easily reducing time to market and helping our customers avoid investing time dealing with ONVIF specification implementation.
Ideal For:
-
IP security cameras and smart video encoders
-
Edge AI surveillance systems and robotics
