The onvif camera platform allows you to use an ONVIF camera in Home Assistant. This requires the ffmpeg component to be already configured.
Configuration
To enable your ONVIF camera in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:
# Example configuration.yaml entry

- platform: onvif

{% configuration %}

{% endconfiguration %}
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.
Service camera.onvif_ptz
If your ONVIF camera supports PTZ, you will be able to pan, tilt or zoom your camera.
