Can the cameras mount to a soffit upside down?

It depends what the soffit is made of. Some of my cameras are mounted on wood soffit others on corrugated tin soffits. The screws are just small pointed wood screws. You have to have the camera right side up to view the video right side up. The camera has a swivel mount for adjusting it correctly. I'll say one thing though; this system has been a dream. Once it was up and working (took a day or two) I've had no problems whatsoever. In addition, we've had some strong winds and the cameras haven't budged. The only maintenance that is required is about every three months you have to reformat the DVD and that is a very simple easy process; you just unplug the power source for the cameras, go into the maintenance software and turn off the record log and reformat the hard drive and then turn everything back to on. It takes a total of about 5 minutes. If you by this system you might invest in an electric stapler (if you don't have one already) for putting up the wires, and take your time and don't staple through the wires because that can have a negative effect on the video output.

No they can not or your picture will be upside down try the ball type cameras they swivel and rotate in its case

yes to mounting on soffit as the light cones are fully adjustable. The cones may be slightly hindered to pointing to a higher angle if soffit becomes in the way but pointing them down or at a 45 degree should be doable. Your second question is above my pay grade.

Yes... Screw hole in top of camera allows you to mount post from top. Camera is never actually upside down.

Nope, just dig holes and mount in the ground (2 sheet metal angles) which fasten to the left and right main frames.

I don't believe so. I'm sure you could but it would look goofey cause it would have to be mounted reverse

Yes. I currently have mine installed upside down in an outside porch light fixture.

I bought a wall mount and had to mount it upside down. I don't think you can project it down unless it is upside down. Even so, it was relatively simple to mount.

You can mount it as you would any typical tripod mounted camera. As for the software, I am using it with a movie editing program and it can correct for the different angles. I don't know that the camera comes with any sort of software that can correct mounting it upside down. Mine certainly did not.

No it only has about 10 degrees to 15 degrees of adjustment. I was actually thinking if I can mount them upside down if I would be able to fit it properly. However if you were to use a 90 degree mounting bracket with brackets supplied you could make that work

I did not try that before. However, there is a screw at the bottom of the unit probably for this purpose. It looks similar to camera mount.

no, but you can get reversible ones that you can turn upside down to do that, like the ikea one http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/80253814/

It mounts upside down there are four holes for screws to be used with a universal mount and one large to mount on a tripod. The image automatically flips.

It won't work. You could mount it upside down but the contents will fall out.

Yes it can be mounted upside down. I had an electrician install my light he asked which orientation I wanted it to be mounted. It had't occurred to me that it could be facing down.

I don't see why not. Although I did not install it myself. I had my electrician do it. Looking at it though, I don't see any issue with hanging it upside down.

My home security guys placed motion sensors lower the ground, then upside down...so the the sensor sees upward from where it's placed. This may work the same way.

You can mount any camera with the threaded on the bottom, most cameras have that feature
