OLD QuickCam Orbit/Sphere AF! PTZ, how?

[BobLaske]

I have this old QuickCam Orbit/Sphere AF camera that works quite well and I thought I'd connect it to USB.
It works great as a USB camera but I cannot find any info on how to get PTZ going probably because it's such a old camera.
What I did find was lots of hacking using very old versions of zoneminder so figure it's best to ask here.

I found this old info so gave it a try and now I see the pan tilt and controls even if there were a lot of errors.
No idea if this has hurt my setup now but that did allow me to PT the camera. No zoom however.
I'm not caring about the command line, I'd like to see PTZ from zoneminder.

Just need to write a control script for it.

I see, nothing already built into ZM. Got it, thank you for letting me know.
