The FeatureList on the [ONVIF Conformant Products Database](https://www.onvif.org/conformant-products/) can provide a starting point to determine a camera's compatibility with Frigate's autotracking. Look to see if a camera lists `PTZRelative`, `PTZRelativePanTilt` and/or `PTZRelativeZoom`, plus `PTZAuxiliary`. These features are required for autotracking, but some cameras still fail to respond even if they claim support. If they are missing, autotracking will not work (though basic PTZ in the WebUI might). Avoid cameras with no database entry unless they are confirmed as working below.

As a starting point to check compatibility for your camera, view the list of cameras supported for two-way talk on the [go2rtc repository](https://github.com/AlexxIT/go2rtc?tab=readme-ov-file#two-way-audio). For cameras in the category `ONVIF Profile T`, you can use the [ONVIF Conformant Products Database](https://www.onvif.org/conformant-products/)'s FeatureList to check for the presence of `AudioOutput`. A camera that supports `ONVIF Profile T` *usually* supports this, but due to inconsistent support, a camera that explicitly lists this feature may still not work. If no entry for your camera exists on the database, it is recommended not to buy it or to consult with the manufacturer's support on the feature availability.
