Yeah the turret can be faced any direction but back at its support LOL (but if you try hard enough you can do that too LOL).

Take the little lock screw and unscrew it and take the outer ring off - reposition the turret ball to the general location you want it aimed at and put the ring back on with the "cut out notch) of the ring generally in the direction the turret is looking and lightly tighten to hold in place and then make final adjustment of the turret and then tighten the screw.

Nearly 180 degrees left, right, up, down from the direction it’s installed

ZHE - Bullet

Oh yea LOL.

The bullet locking mechanism is designed to only move so far (like 3-4 positions) and then it kinda locks further movement.

You have to then re-loosen the locking screw for further adjustments.

And if the rotation is too much, it is better to also loosen the screws on the back side and get the general alignment then tighten up the screws behind and then re-hang and then use the front screw for final aiming.

Yeah the bullet can not be angled back on its support LOL.

As of right now the TIOC cameras are only fixed lens. Word is they may come out varifocal.

there will be varifocal TIOC-PRO in Q2 (Q3?)...
but only 2.8-12mm (or even less due big aperture)...

 

[bigredfish]

I hope they fix the sensor noise. 3449 Pro could be their best camera if only…

all AI-ISP platforms looks like half-finished..

Dahua & Uniview released AI-ISP cams and they are on the market for last 6-9 months in not finished / optimized form..

HIK released to the public ColorVu 3.0 cams based on the same SOC / platform in Oct 2024.
We have almost April 2025 - 6 months later - those ColorVu 3.0 cams are not seen on the stocks in Europe anywhere...

correction: checked now a few shops and there are first HIK ColorVu 3.0 cams available after 6 months of waiting..

For me it looks like someone created totally new hardware (new SOC with AI based 2D/3D noise reduction and HDR mapping) but it need a lot of work on software side (AI learning) and there are delays...

or they found that this new SOC don't have enough power to run proper AI models... and we have something between.

I can get the camera upwards, but then it has to be pointed to the left, which doesn't work. The camera hangs on a sloping roof.

The only way it wouldn't work is if the camera is physically being blocked by part of the roof/house. If the only connection to the house is the with the base and no other part of the camera is touching the house, it can swing to that direction.

As you said, you may need to dismount it and unscrew the back screws to make a wide swing of the camera.

See this gap in the stem? Position it so that is is facing the way you want the camera to point.

It will rotate 180 degrees Left/Right and Up Down

I took a few pictures. Maybe you can see it better there.

 

[bigredfish]

Yep ,it will turn left if you loosen the two screws I showed un the pics I posted on the back of the camera arm. You have to remove it from the junction box

I only have the one screw on the side.

 

[wittaj]

I would think if you loosen every screw you see, it will move further up until the shield physically hits the support?

 

[bigredfish]

Forgot it has the integrated base. Still it will go 180 (90 degrees either way)
Mine is

You have a straight wall. Mine is slanted.

Even if I unscrew everything completely, I can't get them to point to the left the way I need them to.

I've said it before, but I would look to move that camera down to eliminate so much of the roof. That is such a less than ideal angle.
