Hello
Are there any other PTZ cameras besides Hanwha that display AF and manual focus control buttons on the PTZ control screen?

The reason I want to use manual focus is that I want to focus on a distant subject on the NxWitness client screen.

  Hi mutou takafumi,

  Because most users rely on built-in autofocus for their PTZ cameras, generic manual focus controls aren't included by default. However, most PTZ manufacturers expose manual focus commands through their camera's API.

  To set this up, you can create two separate rules, one for Focus Near and one for Focus Far. By pairing Soft Trigger Events with Do HTTPS Request Actions, you can easily trigger manual focus adjustments directly within the Desktop Client interface.

  Best regards.
