The test case for ONVIF Conformance include JPEG over RTP; The ID of the test case is
"RTSS-1-1-53 MEDIA STREAMING – JPEG (VALIDATING RTP HEADER EXTENSION)" in ONVIF Device Test Tool version 16.07 SR2
ONVIF Compliant IP camera should have at least Video Codec with JPEG(MJPEG); optional MPEG4, H.264. If the compliant IP camera have audio function, it should have at least G.711

The Profile S compatible IP Camera must meet the selected test cases. Test cases are mandatory, conditional(madatory if supported) and optional
