What ONVIF profile types does BlueIris support?
For example, i'm looking at a HikVision PTZ that specifies in it's specs, "ONVIF Profile G, ONVIF Profile S, ONVIF Profile T,"

Re: ONVIF Profile Types
This seems particularly hard to answer. I can't find it in the Help file, and a Google search with Chrome came up with an AI response that BI is compatible with profiles S,T and G, but there was no referenced information to follow up with

Re: ONVIF Profile Types
My guess it supports S and T.
ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) profiles define specific sets of features for interoperability between IP-based security devices. Profile G focuses on edge storage and retrieval of video data, Profile S handles basic video streaming and management, and Profile T is designed for advanced video streaming with high-definition video formats. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
ONVIF Profile G (Edge Storage and Retrieval): [3, 4, 5, 6]
• Purpose: Enables devices to record, search, and retrieve video data stored locally on devices like network video recorders (NVRs) or the camera itself.
• Features: Includes capabilities for managing recording, requesting recording, controlling recording, and retrieving video data.
• Example: A client using Profile G can configure a camera to record video, then request the recording and retrieve it later. [3, 4, 5, 6]
ONVIF Profile S (Basic Video Streaming and Management): [3, 4, 5, 7]
• Purpose: Provides basic video streaming and management features for IP-based video systems. [3, 4, 5, 7]
• Features: Includes remote management and control of video streaming from cameras, PTZ control, audio in, and multicast. [3, 4, 5, 8]
• Example: A VMS can use Profile S to remotely control the streaming of video from an IP camera. [3, 4, 5]
ONVIF Profile T (Advanced Video Streaming): [3, 4, 5, 9, 9]
• Purpose: Focuses on transmitting high-definition video streams, especially those using H.264 and H.265 compression formats.
• Features: Includes advanced features like imaging, metadata streaming, on-screen display, and motion alarm events.
• Example: A PTZ camera can use Profile T to stream high-definition video with advanced features to a VMS. [3, 4, 5, 9, 9]
Key Differences: [3, 4, 5, 6, 6]
• Storage: Profile G deals with local storage and retrieval, while Profiles S and T focus on streaming. [3, 4, 5, 6, 6]
• Video Formats: Profile T is optimized for high-definition video formats, while Profile S supports a wider range of video formats. [3, 4, 5, 9, 9]
• Advanced Features: Profile T includes advanced features like metadata streaming and motion alarms, while Profile S provides basic video streaming and management. [3, 4, 5, 8, 8, 9, 9]
