Hello,

I've just received the Annke WZ520 PTZ camera.

I did not know before buying it that this cam is tiers app dependent... But anyway, my security system is based on (my favorite) app BlueIris.

Trying couple of settings, I finally succeed in getting the video stream but impossible to get the PTZ working.

I tried manually with some curl command, I also tried with the script made by somebody of this group (@tedly ) for the WZ500 but... nothing to do. and, BTW, the cam doesn't have a webpage for settings, everything has to be done through the app...

Could you help me please ?
 
Funny thing is and not sure if it is related. So the other day after 6 months of no access to my WZ500 besides on Bi and my PTZ access was still working so I just left it as it was.. Anyway I reset the camera back because I wanted to use White lights again. I then logged in to WebUi because the WZ500 does offer one. Setup password so it was working again in my Bi. But PTZ wasn't. I tried for over an hour and thought what have I not done yet. Setup on App.. So I logged into the Annke Dumb app and closed it and sure enough the PTZ is working again in Bi I am not sure how or why but for me that was what I needed.. If you removed from app and setup in Bi without trying to connect to app. I would connect to app for the Annke Smart and see if your PTZ comes back in Bi..
