How do you change camera angle?
I tried iWS-4200 and hikvision's cloud service app and didn't find a proper way to do it.

The specifications of the model clearly says angle can be changed horizontally 0-355 and 0-75 vertically

With your hand, ... it's not a PTZ model.

Also if you haven't already purchased that camera, this less-expensive Dahua model should outperform it (uses a newer image sensor that does better in low light) and runs official firmware (i.e. not hacked Chinese firmware that can't be upgraded without risk). It's also not a dome, so you don't have to worry about the typical issues with domes ghosting out the image if too much IR bounces back to the dome (or leaks around the foam ring that domes have around their lenses).

lol... I can't believe the solution to be that simple and... a little dumb... It sounds like a camera made in 1990s not 2020...

Anyway thanks a lot man

Unfortunately I already paid for it. My friend brought 2 of them from China for me. Each costs around $65 and I can't complain anything for that price.
