ONVIF®, the pioneering standardisation initiative for IP-based physical security products, announces that it will end support for ONVIF Profile S, and is recommending the use of its successor, Profile T.
Profile S, the first-ever profile ONVIF introduced in 2011, provides a standardised set of specifications that enable basic video streaming capabilities between conformant devices (like IP cameras) and clients (like video management software) from different vendors. Profile S, however, specifies authentication mechanisms that are no longer consistent with current cybersecurity recommendations.
