Happy owner of essential v1 camera set.  I mount them in the eves of my home and have image rotation on so the picture is right side up.  I needed to add a couple of cameras and the local Sam's Club had the next version (v2) on sale for $99.   I mounted them the exact same way only to learn that the rotate 180 degree option had been removed.   I found the thread on this site from 8 months ago asking the same question saying the documentation was wrong and that this feature wasn't available.  I've been a happy arlo customer through 3 generations of cameras, all of which had this feature.  Is there a plan to fix this in a software release?  If so, when?
If not, I'll package them up and look for a different set of camera replacements.

Hello, 

 

That feature should still be there it was not taken from the cameras. Go to device settings and video settings you should see the option to toggle it on or off under that spot.

You are correct. It should be there but it isn't.   It shows on my v1 cameras but not in my v2 cameras.   See attached photos

@photoghog :  I believe @BrookeN might be wrong on this.  I don't think the Gen 2 cameras have ever had the rotate image setting.  FWIW, I am not seeing it on my own 2nd Gen camera either.

Can you tell me when this feature will be added?   The cameras aren't worth keeping and my return window is running out.  Thanks
