PTZ Controls
This plugin adds a PTZ camera control panel to OBS that can control multiple cameras, and can automatically change selected camera based on the currently active preview or program scene. The plugin supports the VISCA serial, VISCA-over-IP, and...

Yes, BUT that is an inadequate response due to a question lacking in clarity (sort of like asking 'is there a vehicle that runs on a power source?')
there are multiple, different PTZ camera control methods / 'standards'/protocols ... from old-school serial interface, to newer things like VISCA over IP and lots in-between. technical details are critical in this regards
Yes, there are number of 3rd party OBS Studio plugins, and standalone software packages....
so,
- first define EXACTLY which camera and protocol you need support for
- then, if automation (using something like Advanced Scene Switcher) is desired, or simply the interface
if just an interface (camera preset selection, movement, and a couple other simple adjustments), then I'd ask why fixate on a plugin?
- then from the above, figure out your list of camera control software options you prefer... sometimes, a physical controller makes more sense..
PTZ Optics/streamgeeks, also has a nice free PTZ control software that has the benefit of being supported by company that makes a physical controller (the SuperJoy + others, so they have broad camera support, paid developers, support staff, etc)... but depends on your specifics
