Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
No.
Describe the solution you'd like
We are using low budget HikVision PTZ cameras. They accept HTTP PUT commands for PTZ controls. Example (in PowerShell):
$url = "http://$ipaddress/ISAPI/PTZCtrl/channels/1/continuous"
$buffer = $wc.UploadString($url, "PUT", '<?xml version: "1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><PTZData><pan>'+$pan+'</pan><tilt>'+$tilt+'</tilt><zoom>'+$zoom+'</zoom></PTZData>')$pan, $tilt is the camera speed -100..+100 (we us speeds up to 15). $zoom is -3..+3 (we basically use -1, +1). 0 is stop.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There are no alternatives at this moment, other than buying tracking capable camera.
