Is there a way to rotate tie image without rotating the non-motion-triggering area?

[Brshmrx]

I have found that mounting the camera upside-down helps capture the field of view I desire. However, it seems that when I enable the "Rotate Image 180-degrees" setting, along with the picture flipping upside-down, so does the non-motion-triggering area. The shadowed portion of the frame (indicating the non-motion-triggering area) is now at the bottom of the frame instead of the top where it was in normal view. This is not optimal. Is there a way to rotate the image without rotating the non-motion-triggering area as well?

Thanks.

If you are talking about activity zones, then you need to delete and re-create them whenever you move the camera (and that would include rotating the view).

If you are talking about the PIR motion detection sensors - those sensors are integrated into the camera body, so the way they are aimed cannot be changed.

So the PIR sensors always exclude the portion of the screen area located "above" the sensors--as indicated by the shadowed zone--even when the camera is upside down?

The sensors are built into the camera body - they don't move.  So if you rotate the camera, the sensors rotate too.

There still could be some motion detection in the shadowed area, you can test that using the motion detection test.
