PTZ cameras can be controlled in a variety of ways including an IR remote, a joystick controller, and WebGUI. IR remote controls usually offer a limited set of basic features for controlling the camera and recalling presets. IR remote controls are easy to use for close-range camera control but generally do not work when the camera is mounted far away from the operator. We recommend the joystick controller as the most efficient way to control your PTZ camera by either utilizing a local area network or traditional serial controllers that can daisy-chain through direct connections.
