PTZ Presets with optional image rotation

Is there any way to set a camera's image rotation based on a Preset?

I have a client who insists on mounting his PTZ camera on the side of a building. (There's nowhere to mount an arm above.)

So when he is looking straight out, it looks right-side-up. But when he wants to go to the left or right, the image skews at an angle and eventually is completely upside down once he's at a 90 degree angle from the origin.

He's not flexible on the camera location. So I was hoping that there was a way to link a PRZ preset to flip it 180 degrees when clicked on. I don't see one where I would expect it "Edit Camera => PTZ/Control => Edit Presets". But was hoping maybe there was a way to do it.

Thanks.
 
I'm not understanding the issue...if you can mount a PTZ camera "on the side of a building", one could mount a bracket like this:

You're right. I was taking a shortcut in the explanation. It's actually a gate post that is only 3-4 feet tall. So there is no above, and there is no clearance to the side to have an arm due to obstructions. The owner wants it on the side of the post.

I sent him the camera, understanding that he'd mount it upside down on the top of the post. I could just flip up/down and it'd have looked fine. And now he's modified part of the gate to make it fit and would be unhappy to change it. As usual, just trying to make the customer happy.
 
As much as I hated saying it, once and in a while I had to tell my daughter..."no". :idk:
