SecuritySpy reports ptzcapabilities from the driver profile, so fixed cameras claim PTZ until "Disable PTZ" is ticked in their Device settings. Once it is, the buttons stopped being created but lingered in the registry as unavailable. Offline or vanished cameras keep theirs so an outage can't delete them.

The problem
Fixed cameras get a full set of PTZ buttons. SecuritySpy reports
ptzcapabilitiesfrom the camera's driver profile, not a probe, so every Reolink or Dahua profile claims pan/tilt/zoom (61) whether or not the camera can move.Cause
The integration already creates buttons only for a non-zero capability, and the right fix is at the source: ticking Disable PTZ in the camera's Device settings makes SecuritySpy report 0 (verified on 6.21). But buttons created earlier then linger in the entity registry as unavailable, and nothing removes them.
Fix
The button platform now removes registry entries for buttons an online camera no longer reports, at setup. Offline or vanished cameras keep theirs, so an outage can't delete entities and their customisations. Pure decision helper with tests, a README note on the SecuritySpy setting, and a changelog entry under an unreleased 1.4.3.
Tested on a live SecuritySpy 6.21 with HA 2026.9.0: 42 stale buttons removed across six cameras, the four still reporting PTZ untouched.
