Many cheaper or older PTZs may not support this standard. Frigate will report an error message in the log and disable autotracking if your PTZ is unsupported.
Alternatively, you can download and run [this simple Python script](https://gist.github.com/hawkeye217/152a1d4ba80760dac95d46e143d37112), replacing the details on line 4 with your camera's IP address, ONVIF port, username, and password to check your camera.
The FeatureList on the [ONVIF Conformant Products Database](https://www.onvif.org/conformant-products/) can provide a starting point to determine a camera's compatibility with Frigate's autotracking. Look to see if a camera lists `PTZRelative`, `PTZRelativePanTilt` and/or `PTZRelativeZoom`. These features are required for autotracking, but some cameras still fail to respond even if they claim support.
A growing list of cameras and brands that have been reported by users to work with Frigate's autotracking can be found [here](cameras.md).

This list of working and non-working PTZ cameras is based on user feedback. If you'd like to report specific quirks or issues with a manufacturer or camera that would be helpful for other users, open a pull request to add to this list.
The FeatureList on the [ONVIF Conformant Products Database](https://www.onvif.org/conformant-products/) can provide a starting point to determine a camera's compatibility with Frigate's autotracking. Look to see if a camera lists `PTZRelative`, `PTZRelativePanTilt` and/or `PTZRelativeZoom`, plus `PTZAuxiliary`. These features are required for autotracking, but some cameras still fail to respond even if they claim support. If they are missing, autotracking will not work (though basic PTZ in the WebUI might). Avoid cameras with no database entry unless they are confirmed as working below.
