# Change a Camera's Orientation

Sometimes, cameras can achieve a better field of view when installed in a non-standard orientation. For example, mounting a camera at a 90° angle can provide full coverage of a long hallway or stairwell. You need to change the camera’s orientation in Command if it is installed in a non-standard orientation.

Install cameras with the status LED pointing toward the floor for the live feed to appear as expected in normal orientation.
