Can I hang Flood Light cameras upside down?

troubleshooting

I just bought a couple of Flood Light cameras but am waiting for them to arrive. I have only ever seen the Flood Light cameras positioned on a wall and never attached under an overhang. I have to hang one under my overhang, that is where the existing spot light is located in the front of the house at the garage. I saw that the stickup cameras can can be flipped upside down and you can rotate the image in the software. Can the same thing be done with the Flood Light cameras? If not, can I rotate the lights and the camera to work upside down when mounted?ThanksLarry

    While Marley_Ring's answer is useful it is not 100% complete. He mentions that "rotation feature" is only available for certain camera models" What I have discovered is that the rotation feature is NOT available for the Floodlight Camera. I really wish it was ! **Is there any work being done to make this available?** I had to mount the camera on eaves/flashing and due to a *door clearance underneath* the cam, I was forced to rotate the camera upside down. The video of course comes out upside down on my phone. Why is this available on some cams and not others ... isn't it the same code?? Thanks for any help

      Hi @paul.melcher. We do not advise mounting the Floodlight Cam upside-down because motion is detected from the small bubble on the bottom of the cam. If this is upside down, you will not detect any motion on the ground. I hope this helps.

      Hello! Need help, please. This didn't work for me. I'm having the same issue - video is upside down. I have the wired Pro. The video and lights do not have a good range of motion, so I had to install mine I guess upside down (underneath eave). When looking at the installation leaflet that came

      Hi @GwenJ. As Mentioned earlier in this thread, the Floodlight Cam cannot be mounted upside and if it is, there is no way to rotate the video. If there is information stating that this is how it is supposed to be mounted, please take a picture of it and share it here.

      Thank you @Tom_Ring, I appreciate you acknowledging my post. While I clearly understand what you have said here, you did not really answer my questions: From my post above, they were: **Is there any work being done to make this available?** . **Why is this available on some cams and not others … isn’t it the same code??** Orientation should be software, not hardware. Thanks for any insight you can provide.

        @paul.melcher Aside from the [Indoor Camera](https://ring.com/products/mini-indoor-security-camera), the Ring app is unable to rotate video if your Camera is mounted upside down. If the option to do this was supported in the Ring app, the motion detection would still not work properly as the physica

      Ring not keeping up with others innovations and ignoring customers suggestionsInstalled min floodlight-cam upside down & it senses motion just fine but upside down on cell videoDue to top of exterior door clearance, the camera can not be mounted with bulb facing downward The interior cans have settings adjustment to turn video upside down to correct this.So why is it so difficult for Ring to apply same setting to the exterior floodlight- can?They refuse to get with it snd adjust to the times, while others will step in and be more responsive!
