Not enough swivel

Post by jamie9292 »

Hello

I had my electrician install my new camera today, but it seems it does not swivel that far. I need it monitoring the side gate on my house but it doesn't swivel round enough. Is there any part I can purchase or any suggestions for how I can properly get it pointed in the right direction? It needs to swivel more so it is more parallel with the brick wall.

Thanks

the simplest / only suggestion i have is to fix a wooden / wheel 'chock' to the wall that will give you an angle. fix the camera to that sloping side and that should then give you enough in the camera rotation for it to point down the side properly. the face of the chock just needs to be big enough to fix the camera base to. not sure if the product in the link would be big enough / work ... but you get the idea of what i'm talking about
