Profile C (ONVIF C): Supports integration with physical access control system, addressing interoperability between these systems and network video systems. It supports operations on video, audio and metadata. Profile G (ONVIF G): Address configuration of recording and searching, playing back the video on the IP-based security device. Profile Q (ONVIF Q): Addresses device discovery and configuration, as well as the management of TLS certificates and keys Currently, ONVIF has three profiles, each of profiles has different features.

Undoubtedly, when devices and software are based on the same profile, they are compliant without a doubt. The "profiles" allows for easy and effective check of the conformity of IP surveillance products without analyzing technical details. Therefore, in 2012 the organization introduced the concept of "profiles" which is continuously developed.

ONVIF has standardized the digital interface of IP surveillance products and unifying compression and transmission of video and audio stream, IP device discovery, Pan/Tilt/Zoom (PTZ) control, Alarm inputs and outputs, configuration and control procedures, motion detection etc. After seven years development, ONVIF has many standard versions including ONVIF 1.0, ONVIF 2.0, ONVIF 2.2, ONVIF 2.4, ONVIF 2.5 It is committed to make a common standard to accelerate the adoption of IP surveillance system. ONVIF aims to solve the IP surveillance systems interoperability between products regardless of manufacturers. In 2008, Sony, Bosch, Axis companies established an organization called Open Network Video Interface Forum (ONVIF). After several years chaotic development, in which the manufacturers were introducing their ow standards for transmitting and recording video in IP video surveillance systems. Consequently, user only can choose all the equipment (including front-end cameras, back-end storage device) from the same company. Companies engage in IP camera development and manufacturing have their own standard/protocol. In early IP surveillance development, the IP surveillance system was heavily hampered by the lack of compatibility of equipment and low degree of flexibility in terms of future expansion.

Basically, conventional CCTV cameras and DVRs can work together across different manufacturers. Analog CCTV cameras have no problem for compatibility.
