According to the documentation, there are three PTZ types of devices. How do I determine which type my camera is?
You are referring to very old documentation that is from old e-code XProtect (discontinued line of products).
Assuming you are developing a solution for this old version, you must unfortunately use an old MIP SDK.. https://developer.milestonesys.com/s/article/newest-MIP-SDK-for-XProtect-Professional-VMS-E-code
With the sample “ConfigAccessViaSDK” you can for a camera see properties. As a general rule if it is “Absolute” it is type1.
If you are developing a new solution I must strongly recommend that you use a new version of XProtect. If you have a new XProtect the sample is actually the same name still and you can then use the newest MIPSDK and the online documentation here.
