IP2M-841 rotation

Post by epepep »

Hello,

Because of the space limitation, I had to mount the camera base onto a wall (vs. the base sits on a horizontal surface typically). And the camera location is at ceiling in a corner of a room so that I can get a wide diagonal view of the room from ceiling. Now the tricky part is that because of the mounting position and how the camera rotates and flips backward in this case, I cannot get the video to be orthogonal and the FLIP setup only allows 90-degree increments. Is there a way to freely rotate the video or lens to any degrees?

Thanks in advance.

Hello epepep ,

Unfortunately, the Flip allows rotation only in 90-degree increment.

If you are using the camera's wall mount bracket, you could try this:
Turn the bracket and camera upside down, level the camera, turn on Mirror, set Flip to 180 degrees, and use pan/tilt controls to point it where you want. You could also mount the camera upside down to the ceiling.

If using that position, I would fix a bracket across the corner and then use that to mount the camera so that it is at 45 degrees to each wall.
