Since its inception in 2008, the PSIA has achieved a number of important milestones including the industry's first IP video specification and subsequent specifications to support storage, analytics, access control, and intrusion. In addition, the introduction of a common metadata and event model (CMEM) and common security (CSEC) specification will allow IP-based physical security products to communicate without the need for custom software integration.  Combined, these offer the prospect of true systems interoperability for the physical security market.
