Hardware Acceleration may be available for h264 encoding on certain devices.

Available options:

  • 0 - Rotate by 90 degrees counter-clockwise and flip vertically.
  • 1 - Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise. This is the default.
  • 2 - Rotate by 90 degrees counter-clockwise.
  • 3 - Rotate by 90 degrees clockwise and flip vertically.

Same as video rotation, but applies to snapshots only.

Note: rtsp snapshots are taken from the video stream so this may not be needed if you are already rotating the video.

environment:
    ..
    - ROTATE_IMG_CAMNAME=True # Rotates 90º clockwise
    - ROTATE_IMG_OTHER_NAME=2 # Rotates 90º counter-clockwise
