Rotation problem...

[ghost]

I have a problem with rotation. I wanted to use this to monitor a door... so I placed the camera like I though was the best view..., thinking I could rotate the image:

so i edited /home/pi/.pikrellcam/pikrellcam.conf and at the end I placed rotation 90 still thinking it would come out fine. The camera has not moved inbetween...

but... when it rotates, it cuts off the parts I want!? And adds new parts... it keeps the same tv aspect ratio :-/

is it possible in any way such that the view in the first image (although good for now, but with a 90 degree crooked neck when viewing) is somehow rotated on the webpage (and recording) to 1080x1920?

also is it possible to record sound with the video's?

Coming back to the above situation, I got almost the same problem. After a few days trying to solve it, no solutions found yet.

Problem is that the visible section is 1920x1080 (1080p) but I want a visibility of 1080x1920 (so the visibility 90deg rotated, so I can see what I need. Is there or will there be a solution for this?

Many thanks..

Yeah, I have EXACTLY the same situation; trying to capture the whole of a door, which tend to be, you know, verticalish.

I just tried it on the fly, but when you change the resolution in /home/pi/.pikrellcam/pikrelcam.conf the video width to 1080 and the height to 1920, the preview was "verticalish". I didnt recorded a video but also there it should work.

i took the picture from another Pi but just change the resolution as mentioned.

The settings you want are at the end of the file. Look for "rotation"

cwdosman, thanks! It's taken me a while to get to it, but that's exactly it, along with the corresponding still_width and still_height.
