Compatible IP cameras

VXG Cloud VMS is compatible with the standard ONVIF protocol for IP cameras. A camera must support at least the ONVIF Profile S, the standard RTSP protocol, the H.264 codec, and optionally the H.265 codec.

ONVIF conformance is based on the IP camera vendor's self-declaration. VXG Cloud VMS has been successfully tested with a large number of camera brands, models, and firmware versions over the last 8 years, all of which were declared ONVIF conformant by the camera vendors.

VXG states that if a camera is declared ONVIF conformant, then VXG Cloud VMS is compatible with that camera. A list of ONVIF conformant IP cameras can be used as a reference. The official list of ONVIF conformant IP cameras can be obtained from the following URL:

Using Gateway or Direct ONVIF

These methods work with any ONVIF camera.

Direct Camera to Cloud

For direct camera-to-cloud connectivity, we need to run the Uplink module on a camera firmware.

Plug-ins

Many cameras support 3-rd party firmware applications (often called apps or plug-ins). VXG has plug-ins for all major camera brands. Please contact VXG with your camera brand and model to confirm that it is supported.

Firmware integration

If a camera doesn’t support firmware applications then the Uplink module can be integrated with the camera firmware. This can be done either by the camera vendor using the published Uplink module source code, or VXG can assist you with that.
