How to tell if a camera is PTZ

Is there a command we can execute that will tell us if a camera is PTZ?

I do not see a property for it in getCamerasEx either.

 

Thank you!

  Thank you for providing this link. Unfortunately, I do not see that the results from using this command are corresponding to the cameras in question.

  For example. On a camera that I know is not PTZ I get the following properties. Only rarely do I get a "0". Here are other examples of bitmask numbers that we used in the same fashion as the "check_ptz_capabilities" 
  '403636224',
   '420413440',
   '403636224',
   '428825855',
   '420432896',
   '403636224'

  Can you please advise?

  Hello Daniel,

  What is the camera model?

  Is that technically possible to provide access to one of the cameras over the Internet?

  If yes, I'll create a ticket in our system for further communication in order to not reveal sensitive data.
