Dahua ipc-hdb3200c - mini dome help or buellwinkle

[FlashEngineer 0]

I have one of these and I sort of don't understand how it can be 3-axis.

 

The only adjustment I can do is really tilt the lens and mount my camera at a certain angle. I'm planning on wall mounting as I don't want to mess with my eaves with putting some plywood and reinforcing etc.

 

How can you pan this camera or adjust rotation of the lens to match horizontal?

I don't have one here at the moment to so you but it is possible. If I remember correcty, there's set screws you have to losen first.

I did that but it seems the I can do a very limited pan movement, but there's no lens rotation?

Yes, being a mini dome, it doesn't have the full range of motion that bigger domes have. The lens does rotate, it's like a tab on top of the lens and just rotate it, if it doesn't budge, you haven't losened the set screw. I wish I took better pictures when I had the camera to show you. I had it mounted under an eave at about a 30 degree angle to the hoizon and I was able to rotate it to make it level as you can see in my review of the camera.

I had a very extreme angle on one of two of my 3200's and I just pulled off that "eye lid", trimmed it with some side cutters - problem fixed. I'm not sure why the limit the extent of the rotation becuase the wires are long enough inside the "eye ball".
