Ball-down (upside down) mode

You can configure the camera to account for a unit that is installed “ball down” (upside down), that is, with the base fixings positioned above the camera lens. For ball-down (upside down) installations, the thermal image presented on displays is rotated 180 degrees, and pan and tilt controls are modified to account for the inverted camera.

To configure ball-down (upside down) mode:

  1. From the camera’s Web interface, click Configuration on the top menu.

    The Configuration page is displayed.

  2. From the left-hand panel, click Devices.

    The PT submenu is selected, and the PLAT panel is displayed.

  3. From the Upside Down list, select Yes.
  4. Click Save to confirm the change.

    An information dialog confirms that the changes have been saved correctly.

  5. Click Accept in the information dialog.

    A message in the page footer indicates that you need to restart the camera server before the changes will be effective.

  6. To stop the server, click the green icon on the left side of the page footer.

    An information dialog confirms that the server has stopped.

  7. Click Accept in the information dialog.
  8. To restart the server, click the black icon on the left side of the page footer.

    An information dialog confirms that the server is now running.

  9. Click Accept in the information dialog.

    The black icon reverts to green, and the camera is now configured for ball-down (upside down) operation.
