Can I use other brands of PTZ cameras with this, like the PTZOptics Move 4k?
Asked by: Jonathan
While the BZBgear BZBGear Universal Advanced PTZ IP/RS-232/422 Controller with Joystick (3rd Gen) should work. We recommend using the PTZOptics SuperJoy NDI|HX/IP & Serial PTZ Camera Joystick Controller with the PTZOptics 4k Move cameras. We can guarantee that it will support every function of the PTZOptics 4k Move camera. PTZOptics SuperJoy NDI|HX/IP & Serial PTZ Camera Joystick Controller BH #PTSUPERJOYG1 https://bhpho.to/42p1PuP

The BZBGEAR Universal Advanced PTZ IP/RS-232/422 Controller with Joystick (3rd Gen) would instantly allow you to control each camera connected to the controller. There is little to no delay.
