If you cannot find documentation for this specific DLL and are encountering errors, it is often easier to bypass Panocommanddll entirely and write your own serial communication class.

PTZ commands are short byte arrays. For example, for Pelco D Protocol:

// Example C# code to move a camera without a DLL
public static void MoveCameraRight(byte address)
// Pelco D Format: Sync, Address, Command1, Command2, Data1, Data2, Checksum
    // Command for Right: 0x02, 0x00 (Speed data1/data2 varies)
    byte[] command = new byte[7];
    command[0] = 0xFF; // Sync
    command[1] = address; 
    command[2] = 0x02; // Command 1 (Right)
    command[3] = 0x00; // Command 2
    command[4] = 0x20; // Pan Speed
    command[5] = 0x00; // Tilt Speed
    // Calculate Checksum (Sum of bytes 1-5 mod 256)
    command[6] = (byte)((command[1] + command[2] + command[3] + command[4] + command[5]) % 256);
SerialPort port = new SerialPort("COM1", 2400, Parity.None, 8, StopBits.One);
    port.Open();
    port.Write(command, 0, 7);
    port.Close();
