ONVIF and SIA


Third-party video devices can be integrated with DSS using the ONVIF (profile S/G) 1-2
protocol. You need to purchase video channel licenses, but there is no need to sign
NDA 2-2

Third-party alarm devices can be connected to DSS using the standard SIA protocol DSS Pro DSS API
to receive alarm events. You need to purchase alarm host licenses, and there is no
Third-party platforms can obtain DSS videos, access control
need to sign NDA
data, alarm data, and other information through the API, no
license is required, but you need to contact the ecosystem
team to synchronize project details and sign an NDA to obtain
the API.
Bridge

DSS supports synchronizing event sources from third-party systems to the DSS
platform. Event scenarios and linkage actions can be configured. This requires a
Bridge license and the development of a bridge interface. And NDA needs to be 1-3 2-3
signed.

DSS supports synchronizing personnel information, device information, and events Data Sync
from third-party access control systems to the DSS platform. The following
DSS supports synchronizing attendance and access control
operations can be performed on DSS: monitoring center (door control), event
data from the DSS platform to the third-party system’s
center (event reception), access control management (door control)
database. No license is required, no need to sign NDA, and no
development is required.
