Description

Hi,

I am trying to make an ONVIF cam Action buttons. I've been able to make pan/tilt work using this how-to but so far, I've been unable to make the zoom in/zoom out buttons work reliably. Thus, I'd need some help if someone already done this. My camera is ONVIF-compliant, this really looks like a lack of Python coding skills (or, in all honesty, scripting skills in general)

TIA

Research direction
Investigate how motioneye handles zoom commands for ONVIF cameras. Look at the PTZ control code in the motioneye source, likely in files related to camera control or action buttons. Check existing documentation and community discussions. The user needs to understand the ONVIF zoom commands and how to map them to motioneye's action buttons.
