Thanks for the add, hoping to learn how to use Python3 to control my EmpireTech PTZ

Appreciate the chance to ask noob questions. I've got an EmpireTech PTZ1A2M-25X and I have toyed around with it using face detection and manual tracking using its native server/web based interface.

Then in Python3 I've connected to it and had it return its hostname. Using onvif-zeep library.

I haven't yet figured out how to send commands in python to make it move or zoom or track (I think if I can move it and zoom it with python it will take over the tracking using the native settings but I'm not sure), but that's the goal. Then once I've figured that out, my goal is to tie it in with a 360 degree camera so that I can slew this one to look at movement detected by the 360 camera and then track it.

Intent is to get video of birds in flight.

Fun stuff, thanks for letting me join!
