Q800PRO Front Camera - What are the rotational limits on the lens?

Robert Codeglia

My installation situation requires that the front camera be mounted on the almost-level surface of a plastic housing that covers my built-in factory camera, just up and behind the rear view mirror.

Because a dash cam would need to be mounted on this plastic cover, rather than directly on the windshield, I am considering purchasing the Q800PRO camera, as it appears that the lens is on the side and can be rotated from some point to another.

Problem is, the specs and owners manual do not give any information about how much you can rotate that side-mounted lens.

I therefore need to know... if the camera's mounting tab was placed in a HORIZONTAL position (as opposed to being mounted on the windshield, with an angle to it), can the camera's lens be rotated enough to have the lens in the proper position, looking straight out through the windshield?

    Hi There, the lens will rotate about 70-80 degrees, allowing you to adjust the image angle. However, the Dash Cam will need to be mounted in the correct orientation, otherwise, videos might be recorded upside down/side ways.
