:bullseye: :red_question_mark: Q: What should you do if your camera image appears upside down after installation?

Picture this:
You wanted to install your camera under the roof eaves to protect it from rain and direct sunlight. :sun::cloud_with_rain:

But due to the mounting bracket position and limited space,
the only way to secure it properly was to install the camera upside down.

Everything looked stable and secure. :+1:
You powered it on, opened the app…

And then—

:flushed_face: “The whole image was upside down.The driveway appeared at the top of the screen…The sky was at the bottom…”

If your image is inverse because of how you mounted your camera, it’s not a big deal. You can open up the app, hit Settings → Place Position → Turn on “Inverse Image.”

Reversed Installation (Most Common)

• Mounted on the ceiling

• Installed under eaves

• Installed with the camera body upside down

In this case, the entire image will appear inverted.

You can fix it by going to:

Settings → Place Position → Turn ON “Inverse Image.”

1. Reversed Installation

• Mounted on the ceiling

• Installed under eaves

• Installed with the camera body upside down

In this case, the entire image will appear inverted.

You can fix it by going to:

Settings → Place Position → Turn ON “Inverse Image.”

2. Camera Was Adjusted or Moved

• The viewing angle was manually adjusted

• The camera was removed and reinstalled

• It was rotated during cleaning or maintenance

If the physical orientation changes but the image setting remains the same, the screen may appear inverted.

3. After Factory Reset or Firmware Update

The image direction setting may return to default after:

• A factory reset

• Reconnecting the camera to the network

• (In rare cases) a firmware update

If the default mode does not match the actual installation position, the image may appear upside down.

4. “Inverse Image” Was Accidentally Enabled or Disabled

If the setting was changed unintentionally, the display may appear reversed.

How to Tell the Difference:

• Ground appears at the top and sky at the bottom → Image is upside down

• Text appears reversed left-to-right → This is mirror mode, not inversion

In most cases, simply switching the “Inverse Image” setting will resolve the issue.
