The Physical Security Interoperability Alliance is a global consortium of nearly 50 physical security manufacturers and systems integrators focused on promoting interoperability of IP-enabled security devices across all segments of the security industry. Participating companies include Adesta, Arecont Vision, Assa Abloy, Cisco Systems, GE Security, Genetec, Honeywell, IBM, IQinVision, Johnson Controls, March Networks, Milestone Systems, NICE Systems, ObjectVideo, OnSSI, Pelco, SCCG, Stanley Security, Texas Instruments, Tyco International, Verint and Vidsys.

Founded in February 2008 and officially incorporated in March 2009, PSIA’s objective is to develop standards relevant to networked physical security technology. Under the direction of its Board of Directors, PSIA promotes and develops open standards relevant to networked physical security technology across all segments including video, access control, analytics and software.

PSIA supports license-free standards and specifications, which are vetted in an open and collaborative manner to the industry as a whole. There are currently five active working groups: IP Video, Video Analytics, Recording and Content Management, Area Control and Systems. The organization reviewed and ratified its 1.0 IP Media Device specification in March 2008 and more than 700 companies have registered for the specification since its initial release.
