How does one reverse the image from a web camera?

Camera reverses image

My windows 10 camera reverses the image when it saves. The image is fine when filming but is reversed at the end. There is no available option in settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the device and it has made no difference. Please help.

 

Camera reverse the image!

Hello Uzair,

I suggest you to check the setting. Most of the software’s have settings to reverse the image. So check if any of these settings have been set to reverse the image. You may contact with the manufacture’s support for better assistance on this issue.

If issue persists, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.

 

Camera reverse the image!

I have this problem as well and found a slight workaround.

My webcam was displaying a mirror image of what it was seeing. However, when I took and saved a picture (or video), the image was displayed correctly. I don’t know why the Windows camera software reverses the image when saving it, but it does.

After checking around, I found a registry hack that would flip the image being displayed, however the software would still reverse the image when saving a picture or video. So, if you plan to use the webcam as a baby monitor (or any other kind of monitor),
the hack will let you reverse the picture being shown. If you want to take pictures or videos, the leave the reverse image showing because the software will save it in the correct orientation.

As always with a registry hack, be sure you’ve made a backup before making changes, just in case something goes wrong. Here is the hack (some of the values may be slightly different):

Run REGEDIT

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\

SYSTEM\

CurrentControlSet\

Control\

Class\

{6BDD1FC6-810F-11D0-BEC7-08002BE2092F}\

0000\

VIDEOPROCAMP

There is a 32bit DWORD entry HFLIP.

Change the value from 0 to 1 or 1 to 0, to reverse the effects of the camera image.



I hope this helps.
