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:

Direct Camera to Cloud

We need to run the Uplink module on a camera for direct camera-to-cloud connectivity. There are 2 options:

Plug-ins

Many camera vendors support 3-rd party firmware applications (often called apps or plug-ins). This method doesn’t require integration with camera firmware and requires little support from a camera vendor. The plug-in can be installed on a camera either using the camera Web UI or using tools provided by the vendor.

Here are the requirements from some of the camera vendors to support this method

Please check with your camera vendor if the model you plan to use supports the corresponding plug-in/application platform.

Firmware integration

If a camera doesn’t support firmware applications, the Uplink module can be integrated with the camera firmware. The camera vendor can do this using the published Uplink module source code, or VXG can assist you with that. Below are examples of vendors that have been integrated on the firmware level

This method should be coordinated with a camera vendor. Only the vendor can rebuild and distribute a special version of the firmware.
