I worked at a video surveillance company many years ago. We built PTZ controls that worked on the desktop and over the network via a web page... this was in early 2000s.

We also got hammered by a patent troll because apparently, the math behind stitching fisheye lenses into a flat video plane is somehow patented.

There is also OpenIPC which works with some of my cheap chinese cameras

Be sure to firewall your cameras on your router to only intranet, do not let them access internet or they phone home

(you can let them sync time by capturing ITP requests and running your own service on your router)
