(Being a specialist in off topic 😆) here are the links of the PTZ (pan tilt zoom) camera I have which are of the same type (Chinese manufacturer xiongmai technology) as @kevinGodell

**My actual ptz cam** : [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000096231458.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d865FtM](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000096231458.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.27424c4d865FtM)  
**My wish of purchase** : [https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000260050022.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.4c503c00brYTBF&mp=1](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000260050022.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.4c503c00brYTBF&mp=1) you can choose with fix focus or 4x optical zoom and auto tracking 🤩 (see video).

All use icsee app (my favorite) include human detection. My actual cam is **fully controllable with Node red**.
