Profile S also covers ONVIF specifications for PTZ control, audio-in, multicasting and relay outputs for conformant devices and clients that support such features.
A Profile S client (e.g., a video management software) is one that can configure, request, and control video streaming over an IP network from a Profile S device.
An ONVIF Profile S device (e.g., an IP network camera or video encoder) is one that can send video data over an IP network to a Profile S client. Profile Q also covers specifications for TLS (Transport Layer Security) configuration for conformant products that support this feature. A Profile Q conformant client is one that can discover, configure and control a Profile Q device over an IP network. An ONVIF Profile Q conformant device is one that can be discovered and configured by a Profile Q client. Profile G also includes support for receiving audio and metadata stream if the client supports those features. A Profile G client (e.g., a video management software) is one that can configure, request, and control recording of video data over an IP network from a Profile G conformant device. An ONVIF Profile G device (e.g., an IP network camera or video encoder) is one that can record video data over an IP network or on the device itself. ONVIF Profiles G, Q, S, and T are for Video Devices
