and their supported PTZ control panel or joystick.

NOTE

The legacy PTZ control panel or joystick should be connected to the VPort’s PTZ port or the COM port of a PC.

camera supplier has their own proprietary PTZ control protocol. VPort video encoders support all popular PTZ

drivers for controlling PTZ cameras.
