O.P. Urgent, Help
Heres my problem and I need some help.
I've got a webcam for video conferencing with Messenger. Now I've got it mounted to the ceiling upside down and I need to flip the image verically so that the image is correctly orriented. How do I do this?

RE: Urgent, Help
If you can, open the webcam and rotate the lens by 180º....OMG you didnt believe it or did you?!  ....
Dunno, but there are some of those "feet" for webcams which can hold them and make them higher if you want to, by pulling the "feet" out...(i have one)Hope you havent "Glued" the webcam to the ceiling  |

You sure the drivers don't have this option? |

RE: Urgent, Help
I got this 15€ (calculate it by yourself) webcam and i even can flip horizonally and vertically so i would be surprised if you couldn't do it. Install your driver, don't just plug&play it...
But that is my opinion!

Magnetic.
I could flip the CCD upside down....
No drivers  It's an Apple Isight running on a PC so it's using Generic 1394 Camera Drivers "A towel is about the most massively useful

RE: Urgent, Help
the chance the sensor is stuck on the printplate is big. In my cellphone it's loose, if you take off the cover you got the sensor in your hands, if you put it back on again the cover presses the sensor contacts on the contacts on the printplate. Easy. But i don't think they use this tricks on a webcam as you don't have to open it for cleaning out dust etc.
EDIT: And still, for turning it you should have wires, else if you turn the sensor the contacts won't be on their place

The idea there was that the isight is a cylinder shape and I could (if disassembled) just rotate the electronics, but it would void the waranty so thats a no-go.
