Indoor Wireless Camera - Rotate 180 degrees

I see that the outdoor camera has the ability to rotate the video 180 degrees.   I just got an indoor camera and that capability is missing.   Is it possible?   Is it a feature coming?

Thanks,

Hi @ajp ,

The Smart Alarm Indoor Camera's built-in motion sensor is pointed downwards, to catch intruders that may be walking just below. So flipping it upside-down would change that, and negatively impact detection. That's why the setting was intentionally left out.

I also want to invert the camera.  In my case, I want to mount the camera from the ceiling/corner, pointed 45 deg. down and 45 deg. from the walls.  The motion detection would be fine, since the sensor would be pointed directly at the desired detection zone (front door foyer) that's less than 20 feet away. Why not enable this feature for the indoor camera, with a warning to the user that motion sensing may be compromised?
