Mounting Outdoor Cameras Upside Down
Does the SimpliSafe outdoor camera’s motion detection work equally well when the camera is mounted upside down as it does when the camera is mounted upside up?

Hi @dean_33,
The built-in motion sensor is oriented slightly down, so when the camera is set upside-down, you'll just want to point it slightly lower. I would suggest trying out different positions by walking in and out of view and waiting for the camera to trigger.

Thank you Davey. Out of curiosity, what method does the camera use to detect motion? Does the camera have a PIR sensor to detect motion? Or does it use some other method?

Can the image be rotated when the camera is mounted upside down?

Can the outdoor camera be mounted under the soffit and not lose distance from 30 to 15', by Rotate the Image 180 degrees in the camera settings?
