Im not certain exactly what condition you are describing, the camera is a reverse (mirror) image camera, so however you mount it, you will want it to be pointing rearward because its a mirror image. Unless of course you buy a monitor which has a reverse image switch on it, in which case I believe you could mount it facing forward and not have a mirrored image.if you are satisfied with the mirror image, but simply want to change the orientation, such as rotating the picture 90/180/270 degrees, it is relatively easy, though not recommended, to open the camera and rotate the electronics. I'm certain that this would void the warranty, and you would want to be certain that it is water tight.I hope that helps.

Not sure what you mean by 'stud' but the camera is designed to face down and to be installed to the rear. If you face it on the ground and install it in front of your car, yes the pic will be reversed (sideways). If you are thinking of using this as a front view cam, don't do it. That will not work. You would need a regular camera. There are tons available. Be wary though, as most of them are junk.

You can't move the camera left or right but as long as you can get the cords to power and a monitor then it'll work. I cant guarantee how good it will look if its only on one side of your car.

I actually have it installed facing froward to use as a parking aid and the image is not reversed. Unfortunately, the image can't be reversed on this camera but for the price I was OK with it.

This type of camera must be installed on the rear bumper... see instructions in youtube...

It doesn't digitally flip the image. If it is mounted upside down then the image will be upside down. The flip is only a horizontal turn of 180 degrees. Hope this helps

On my system the right-side up or upside down is controlled and side slew is controlled also by the controls on the monitor. Andyou can reverse the camera.

Hi Stephen I do agree with about the screen rotating far back Regarding the other issue I thank you might need to relocate the camera I had to do so cuz my truck is lifted by 3inch

William, There is no reason that the picture should be upside down...I am guessing that it was installed into the headrest this way. It has fairly limited menu options, and I don't believe there is a way to correct it. You might need to take it back...good luck!

Mine does due to installing the camera in a custom tailgate handle I also purchased through Amazon. The tailgate handle has a camera in it that is angled so I can see from my bumper and outward. The installation process was not difficult. Hope this helps, good luck.

It cannot when installed as directed: there is only one camera on this unit and it is designed to face the road. Other dashcams are available, however, that are designed to film both the passenger cabin (and sometimes by inclusion, part of the area behind the vehicle via the rear window) and the roadway in front of the vehicle at the same time; this just isn't one of them.

The bolt should be facing up, so it's above the camera. The camera is angled down so you'll be able to see the ground and area behind the vehicle.

In a typical installation, the camera is activated when the reverse light comes on. This powers the camera, and the head unit senses this and turns on the viewing screen. So in your case, all you need to do is run a power and ground to the camera with a switch in-line. The sreen will activate when you throw the switch.

I believe that is more related to the firmware/software in the head unit. As I was reading up on this camera and alternatives, prior to buying it, some reviews said that depending on your head unit, the picture may be reversed.I would check your head unit's features, as the camera doesn't do the "reversing," the H/U takes care of that.

When wired properly, anytime the vehicle is placed in reverse the camera comes on. Camera turns off once taken out of gear

No - it's just an analog composite video output to your head unit, so the camera has no idea where these objects are or in which direction the car is turning

I'm not sure....it mounts to the hood only ...I don't think it will mess with the cameras ...but I would ask the dealer , this is the same one they would install ..As far as doing the install your self very easy..mine has been on the car for a year...No problems...Hope this helps..

Hi,if your camera do not have 2 or 3 white,blue,or red short wires coming out from one of the tow camera plugs ,so you can tie tow of these wires to reverse the image,if these wires are not available then you have got reverse camera only (wrong camera),hope this is clear.
