Non-Amcrest Brand PTZ Camera

[BigN879]

Question for everyone. I have a non-amcrest branded PTZ camera that I cannot get the Amcrest NVR to control. I get video, and even sound. But I cannot control (make the camera move) using amcrest app or the nvr. I can control it using the app it came with, and even using the WebUi, just not the Amcrest NVR or APP. Anyone have any suggestions?

Hello and Welcome to the Forum..

I have 2 older Amcrest 20x zoom PTZ cameras that can't be controlled by a couple of my NVRs like the 5216E-16P to name one of them. Not much you can do. Most of my lower grade nvrs like 41xx, 21xx all work fine..

I am in the same situation with a Hikvision PTZ that I repaired. What I am going to do is get a mini computer and load ivms2000 (Hikvision's pc software) on it and connect it to the camera switch side of the Amcrest NVR and connect a USB joystick to the mini computer.
