When considering mounting your Reolink camera upside down, it's important to understand model compatibility and waterproofing requirements. Not all cameras support inversion, and incorrect mounting may affect performance. Here's what you need to know.
1. Model Compatibility
All Reolink cameras, except the following models, support inversion:
- Argus 4
- Argus 4 Pro
- Duo Series
- Reolink TrackMix (Battery)
- Reolink TrackMix LTE
- Reolink TrackMix LTE Plus
For these models, if mounted upside down, it will not be possible to adjust the camera’s image orientation through software to correct the view.
2. Waterproofing
For some models, mounting upside down is necessary to maintain waterproof functionality, especially for outdoor use. These models include:
- Argus PT series
- Reolink Go PT series
- Argus Track
It is important to note that if your camera has a speaker or an SD card slot, pay special attention to the mounting direction to prevent rainwater from entering these openings. For outdoor installation, models such as the RLC-810A, RLC-811A, and RLC-823A should not be mounted upside down, as this may lead to water damage. Additionally, for RLC-823 series cameras, mounting them upside down can also limit the tilt range, preventing the camera from tilting downward properly.
3. Other Models
Other Reolink cameras, aside from the ones listed above, can generally be mounted upside down without issues. For detailed operation, refer to: How to Flip the Image of Reolink Cameras.
In summary, when mounting a Reolink camera upside down, ensure that the model you are using supports this orientation and does not compromise its waterproof features or night vision performance.
