I am looking for a list of fixed dome camera models that support PTRZ (remote adjustment to pan/tilt/zoom/rotation of the lens). A couple of examples of cameras with this function are the Axis Q3617-VE and the Hanwha-Techwin XNV-6085. Can this function be added as a search option on the Camera Finder?

#1, thanks, I added it to a list of potential features to add.

For now, @Ethan, others, can you share a list of what models you know support this?

I think that #1 pretty much listed all of them! Joking, but not joking. It's been a pretty rare feature so far, and I haven't seen anyone else supporting it. I'll take a look and see what else is out there.

Maybe it will make more sense if explain my interest. I work for a fortune 100 company with sites all over the world. It is difficult to coordinate installs of camera views when working across time zone and language barriers. Having the PTRZ functionality in a fixed dome would allow for a camera to be installed by a local integrator during their normal business hours at a designated location on a drawing. My team could then remotely focus on the desired target During our normal business hours. This eliminates the need to coordinate resources. I see the potential for cost savings and higher quality final results.

#1, that makes sense. Given the cost premium of the feature, it likely will remain limited to higher-end models.

Btw, one manufacturer not mentioned yet is Canon which had that feature before Axis but since Axis is now running Canon network video sales and marketing, I would not expect many new Canon branded cameras.
