**As more IP camera and Video Management System (VMS) manufacturers enter the security market with new features and benefits, compatibility becomes more complicated and critical for system functionality.**

Learning about ONVIF profiles, SDK integration, encoding, decoding, and specialized features isn't optional. The discovery and education process has become longer and more complicated. For this reason, trusted partnerships are more important than ever.

IP camera and VMS selection will have an impact on live viewing, recorded video playback, functionality, and more. Here are a few resources to help you take the next step:
