The settings that **work to move UP the camera** are:

Do the same for the other directions.

P.S. a **problem on the status light** it remains red because it received an order which did not work (absoluteMove). If I run a command that works (continiousMove) the status indicator stays red and does not refresh the new state "Connected" ok

Hi Chris,  
I have recently updated the version on Github, for a PTZ [issue](https://github.com/bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-onvif-nodes/issues/5#issuecomment-690928252). The relativ move now works here, but the absolute move not yet. Would be nice if you could download the version from Github and test it please.

Seemed there was a large series ocofopy-paste programming errors in the ptz. **WOULD REALLY HELP ME IF SOMEBODY COULD TEST THE DIFFERENT ONVIF NODES, OTHERWISE THEY WILL MOST PROBABLY NEVER ON NPM!**

Can you please raise an issue for this on my Github repo, so that I don't forget this. I'm feeling bad at the moment, and have to go for a corona test in the hospital tomorrow for my doctor.
