+Most of the Onvif cameras support more than one audio/video Profile. Each profile provides different image quality. Usually, the first profile has the highest quality, and it is the profile used by default. However, you may want to use a lower quality image. One of the reasons may be that your hardware isn't able to render the highest quality image in real-time - especially when running on Raspberry Pi. Therefore you can choose which profile do you want to use by setting in config `profile` variable.
