QuestionCan this be placed horizontally (left to right) vs vertical placement (up and down)?
Asked 1 year ago by Janet.
- Answer Hi Janet, The Tapo Video Doorbell is not designed for horizontal installation. While it does support an image inversion feature, it inverts vertically only. The doorbell's camera FOV is also optimized for vertical orientation.
