**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. ---
