### {% linkable_title Control Foscam PTZ (Pan/Tilt/Zoom) - Home/Away %}
Foscam Webcams which support CGI Commands can be controlled by Home Assistant ([Source](http://www.ipcamcontrol.net/files/Foscam%20IPCamera%20CGI%20User%20Guide-V1.0.4.pdf)). For an example of how this can be done, see the [Foscam IP Camera Pan, Tilt, Zoom Control](/cookbook/foscam_away_mode_PTZ/) Cookbook entry.
