I just started using this plugin and haven't kicked the tires too hard (yet). I was able to get things running fairly quickly and am happy to avoid integrating a hardware controller. I'm using this in a small church livestream application. Thanks to Grant Likely and all the developers providing support.
Just purchased an OBSBot Tiny 2 Lite and this plugin works well with it.
I've instaled the plugin on OBS in my Mac Mini M4 to control my camera via USB, i appears in OBS but it doesn't show the camera when i'm going to add a new source, can anyone help?

Unfortunately USB cameras are not supported on MacOS yet. Sorry
I am using OBS 28.0 and the obs-ptz-v0.15.4 plugin. The camera used is the PTZ-Mini, with a VISCA (Serial) connection, currently on USB COM3.
When starting OBS, the PTZ-Control does not work; the camera does not move. So, I need to close OBS, disable COM3 in the device manager, enable COM3 again, and then open OBS again. The camera control then works normally.
The problem is that I always have to do this every time I start OBS.
I had to create a script to do this automatically.
I upgraded to OBS 30.2.0 and PTZ Controls 0.18.0, but in this version, the control simply does not work, even after disabling and enabling COM3. In this version, the control stopped working, so I had to revert to OBS 28.0 and PTZ-Control 15.4.

I'm sorry to hear that you're having problems with the plugin. Please file an issue on https://github.com/glikely/obs-ptz/issues with a description of the problem and log files from using both the old version and the new one.
Really a great program! Thanks for taking time to keep updating and improving this plugin.

Thanks for the feedback, and I’m glad it is working well for you
I seem to be having an issue with either my system or the hardware. I try to add a VISCA camera and it crashes the OBS System. I installed the latest version and it still crashes. Any suggestions would be helpful. I have tried using another PTZ controller app and and my CISCO Tandberg TTC8-02 does not respond. I order a remote to see if it will control the PTZ. Any help would be appreciated.

The current release doesn't work on OBS Studio 30.0.x or later due to the Qt library version changing. I'm working on a new stable release. In the mean time you can go to the download page and give one of the unstable prereleases a try
Infelizmente o plug-in se limita ao OBS 28 e se atualizo perde a funcionalidade. Alguém conhece outro? Caso eu consiga contgrolar a câmera fora do OBS eu faço a transmissão direto do Youtube mesmo.
