Does anyone have experience with software for use with Amcrest cameras.
I am able to view the rtsp video with vlc and Fedora 29 but that does
not provide control for the other functions such as pan and tilt.
We can control them with an iPhone or iPad but I would like to do it
from my Linux desktop.
I've got similar devices (the Foscam 9831W versions). I use ZoneMinder
(ZM) and I can get them to pan and tilt using ZM.
I haven't tried to do it outside ZM, but ZM uses Perl scripts to do the
control ops. My guess is you could borg those scripts to do what you
wish. ZoneMinder is available from the repos.

I will try zoneminder. I have some Foscams [not PTZ] too but I have
never been able to view them with VLC. They seem primarily interested in
selling their server service and their support was hard to deal with. I
had to find an Apple app, as a result have to keep an iPad running on my
desk just for them. Not the ideal solution.
Thanks,
Bob
