One-page checklist for a mixed-vendor fleet: pre-purchase checks (conformant-products database, Declaration of Conformance, feature list, firmware version), the three-layer integration plan (ONVIF driver, documented RTSP fallback, contained vendor SDK), onboarding and operations (firmware pinning, NTP, credentials), and the go-live verification including a fallback test.

Written by Nikolay Sapunov, CEO at Fora Soft.
