Flip camera image vertically

by userH21C » Fri Jul 06, 2012 8:06 am

My camera was detected, but the image is “upside down”, is there a way to flip the image vertically and if so how is it done?

There MAY be a way to invert the image in the camera's internal setup or the camera's driver software. Depends on the model of camera.

If it is a Netcam then you might try logging in to the cam itself using a browser and search for an option to invert the image.

If it is a USB Webcam, then there may be access to the drivers via a program such as the free "AMCAP" (used to be supplied by microsoft but now supplied by several other private individuals... it was an example program for developers and many people have "enhanced" it and made it available... do a Google search for AMCAP) In AMCAP there is a menu entry that will allow changing SOME parameters in the driver software and the invert option MAY be available.

Otherwise, do the simple thing and turn the camera over... which is simple to say, but possibly impossible to accomplish depending on the physical mounting properties.
