Rotate Smart Alarm Indoor Camera 180º

Due to the mounting requirements of one of my cameras it would be nice to be able to rotate the image 180 at a minimum.  This could be a setting in the software.

Hi @keithbright ,

Thanks so much for chiming in. It sounds like you're asking for this rotation feature for the Smart Alarm Indoor Camera.

Unfortunately the limiting factor is with the built-in motion sensor, which is a key part of how the camera is designed to function. The field of view for that sensor is pointed downwards, so it can catch subjects walking around below.

Which means that if the camera was oriented upside-down, the motion sensor would be pointing up - meaning it won't be able to pick up where intruders are most likely to be. So for that reason, at least for the time being, this feature will not be in development.

Give the option to disable the motion sensor if the user decides they need to mount the camera upside down!
