## ONVIF PTZ camera recommendations
This list of working and non-working PTZ cameras is based on user feedback.
This list of working and non-working PTZ cameras is based on user feedback. It is thus important that you [report camera compatibility](https://github.com/blakeblackshear/frigate/issues) if you manage or do not manage to get a camera not listed here working.
The FeatureList on the [ONVIF Conformant Products Database](https://www.onvif.org/conformant-products/) can provide a starting point to determine a camera's compatibility with Frigate's Autotracking. If it includes `PTZRelative` and `PTZAuxiliary` along with `PTZRelativePanTilt` and / or `PTZRelativeZoom`, the camera may support the functionality required for Autotracking and PTZ Control. However, due to inconsistent support from the manufacturer, it is possible that even though the FeatureList lists these features, the camera still does not respond to commands. If the feature List does not include these features, it is guaranteed that Autotracking will not work. However, if only some of them are present, normal PTZ control via the Frigate's WebUI may still work. If there is no entry for the camer exists in the database, it is recommended *not* to buy the camera, or to consult with the manufacturer's customer support, unless it is explicitly listed as working below.
