I’m having some challenges in getting an Axis V5915 PTZ camera to connect to Wowza Streaming Engine over the Internet. Using the syntax below I am able to connect the camera to the WSE (I can see the image from the camera in “Test Players”) but I don’t see a preview screen, nor do I have any remote control over the camera when I click on the Pan/Tilt/Zoom button. rtsp://root:mypassword@99.224.43.156:554/axis-media/media.amp Am I correct to assume the RTSP port (544) only supports the stream and not the remote control commands? I did try the Axis NAT traversal-generated URL, but the connection consistently failed in WSE with the exception of one time. It’s syntax was: rtsp://root:mypassword@99.224.43.156:44301/axis-media/media.amp Any help would be appreciated. Tim ---

Hello Thanks for contacting Wowza Forums! Can you confirm you have followed the instructions [HERE](https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-connect-an-axis-network-camera-to-wowza-streaming-cloud)? For remote control, Wowza is only the streaming part. You will need to have a mechanism of controlling the camera yourself. regards, Jermaine
