PTZ movement speed depends on the camera's capabilities and settings. To adjust the speed and movement of the camera there are two interfaces:

1. Relative: For a step-by-step increment in the camera movement use a relative interface. This allows users to have more control over the camera movement in terms of the rate at which the angle of the camera should be rotated. 

2. Continuous: This is a robust mode which is allowing users to pan and tilt the camera continuously. The camera can be quickly returned to the home position with the home icon.

Note: Caution should be taken while clicking the home icon and not be confused with the home icon with a down arrow. This icon will overwrite the default position of the camera and will save the new position as default.
