If the ONVIF connection is successful, PTZ controls will be available in the camera's WebUI.
:::note
Some cameras use a separate ONVIF/service account that is distinct from the device administrator credentials. If ONVIF authentication fails with the admin account, try creating or using an ONVIF/service user in the camera's firmware. Refer to your camera manufacturer's documentation for more.

:::tip
If your ONVIF camera does not require authentication credentials, you may still need to specify an empty string for `user` and `password`, eg: `user: ""` and `password: ""`.
