Tilt angle of a (surveillance) camera, especially for fixed cameras (camera:type=fixed).

How to use

The value should be an angle specification from -90 (for vertical downwards) to 90 (vertical upwards) – analogous to the key light:tilt=*:

  • -90: The camera points vertically downwards (to the ground)
  • 0: The camera points horizontally sideways
  • 90: The camera points vertically upwards

For example, a camera tilted slightly downwards could have camera:tilt=-25.

For a camera whose tilt angle can be controlled remotely (e.g. camera:type=panning), you could also specify a tilt range, e.g. camera:tilt=-90-20 for a camera whose tilt angle can be adjusted from vertically downwards to slightly upwards.
