I'm looking for a pan/tilt controller that has the feature to center
the camera on a mouse click of the video feed.

I'm not sure if they make one, but I know certain PTZ cameras (like the
Sony SNC-RZ30) have this feature, where, on the live video feed, you
click, and the PT moves the camera to center the video on the spot
you've clicked on.  You can then zoom and re-center by clicking again.
It makes panning and tilting very convenient.

I haven't been able to find a controller with this feature.  Does
anyone know where I might find one?  Or where I may start?  Or
possibly, what this technology is called?  I'm having the most trouble
searching for it because I don't know what it is called, exactly.

Thanks for any help.

Below is a simple pan/tilt cam setup I made that might be of
interest (note that the computer is now getting old, slow, and
clunky).
