Canting the Camera

The MIC-550 features twist-lock on-site canting functionality. This allows the camera to be
installed upright (90°), inverted, or canted (45º) to achieve the perfect field of view. Installers
can adjust the camera from an upright position to a canted position if desired.
The following graphic shows the camera in both upright and canted positions.
