Nest Cam with Floodlight

[TomJennings4742]

I installed my camera under an overhang. The camera image is inverted. I tried to switch the camera around, but I can't make it work. The camera cord is too short.

Can I get some help?

Do you have the camera mounted on the wall under the overhang so the floodlight portion has the USB cable on the bottom of the fixture, as shown at 4:42 in this installation video?

Google Nest's design for this camera--unfortunately--is not designed to be mounted horizontally on the underside of an overhang or eave: "Nest Cam with Floodlight is designed to be mounted upright on vertical surfaces. Installing it any other way (such as horizontally, sideways, upside down, or at an angle) may reduce the floodlight’s functionality by limiting the motion sensor’s field of view."

Various customers have posted in this forum about mounting the camera on the underside of an overhang or eave, with varying results:

There is a feature to 180 degree the camera in the nest and the google home app. That should fix your problem.

Hi there, 

I apologize for my late response and thank you for all of your patience while waiting for a reply. I understand how frustrating your situation must be, and I would love to help however I can. Have you checked out the settings to switch it back to 180 degrees? That should fix the issue like @GlacierStone17 stated. 

Best Regards, 
Brad
