# Configure a Non-Verkada PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) Camera

Command Connector allows you to add and control non-Verkada PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) cameras that support ONVIF Profile S. This enables operators to control camera movement directly from Verkada Command.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Add the camera [to the Command Connector](https://help.verkada.com/command-connector/configuration/add-a-non-verkada-camera-to-a-command-connector) before you begin.
