Need recommendations: Camera models supporting PTZ SphericalPositionSpaceDegrees for Profile T Client Conformance

[huynhunguyen]

Hi ONVIF Technical Team and Community,
We are currently preparing our VMS/Client for the ONVIF Profile T conformance using the ONVIF Client Test Tool (CTT). Our client has implemented the required PTZ features, but we are currently blocked by a mandatory test case.
Specifically, we need to pass the "PTZ Using Media2 Absolute Positioning - Spherical Position Space Degrees" test. According to the specification, this requires network traces (PCAP) from 3 different conformant devices that support the SphericalPositionSpaceDegrees coordinate space for the AbsoluteMove command.
However, we are having a very hard time finding physical cameras on the current market that actually support this specific PTZ coordinate space to capture the traces.
We have a few questions:
Could anyone recommend some specific camera brands or models that support the SphericalPositionSpaceDegrees feature?
If it is impossible to find 3 different physical devices supporting this, what is the officially recommended workaround to obtain our Declaration of Conformance (DoC)?
Are we allowed to use the PTZ tab in the ONVIF Diagnostics Simulator to generate the PCAP trace for this specific mandatory requirement, in order to apply for a Temporary DoC?
Thank you in advance for your time and support!
Best regards

Hello,
After discussion with the Testing Working Group and other members regarding this issue, there was consensus on lowering the requirement of having 3 "Spherical PTZ" devices to 1 only. If time permits, we may introduce this change in v26.06. We will keep you posted.
Thanks for your patience!

Dear Madhu Rao, I hope you are doing well. Since we are now past the expected v26.06 release timeframe, I just wanted to kindly check whether there have been any updates regarding the proposed change to the "Spherical PTZ" device requirement. If possible, could you also let us know whether there is an estimated timeline for when it might be included in a future release? This would help us plan our testing activities accordingly. Thank you very much for your time and continued support. We really appreciate it. Best regards
