What is ONVIF compliance?
What does ONVIF conformance mean? ONVIF conformance means that a product is conformant with one or several ONVIF profiles. The conformance is valid indefinitely for a specific firmware/software version that is registered for the product.
What is ONVIF and RTSP?
The Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) is used to establish and control media sessions between two or more endpoints. The Milestone Open Network Bridge uses ONVIF Profile S and RTSP to handle requests for video from an ONVIF client, and to stream video from an XProtect installation to the ONVIF client.

ONVIF, founded by Axis Communications, Bosch Security Systems, and Sony Corporation, is a non-profit organization that acts on behalf of members to facilitate the standardization of interfaces for effective interoperability of IP-based physical security products.
What ports do ONVIF cameras use?
Usually, by default the RTSP port is usually 554, the HTTP/ONVIF port is 80, and the HTTPS/ONVIF port is 443. (Although some brands of cameras use the same HTTP port for administration and ONVIF, other brands may use a different port for ONVIF and HTTP administration).
Is ONVIF TCP or UDP?
When connecting security cameras to the NVR via ONVIF protocol, the NVR will use the default TCP/IP protocol, which therefore causes video lag, video choppy/jerky and video loss problems.
How do I forward ONVIF?
