Why don't you just....

Help! The camera won't move.

Why can't I move (pan/tilt) the camera in the office?

But.. but... but... I totally saw someone completely unrelated to you on a two year old video that you had no part in creating, producing, or distributing, and that you're in no way responsible for now, move the camera around the room... so what gives?

But since it clearly USED to be a feature, my inability to take advantage of it now has left a massive crater in the quality of my life, and I must know why it was removed to satisfy my curiosity. So why?

Under what circumstatnces will you bring the pan/tilt option back?

There are several options to resolve this issue. First, I could add a second camera to the office, in the same position as the main one that has pan/tilt capability, while the main one will be static. This creates a lot of new problems. It will require more bandwidth, repositioning issues, and 90% of the people on the site who complain now will still complain because they will be unable to figure it out. I could purchase a better camera that has HDR support (so the sign shows up better), and hopefully doesn't have intermittancy issues with the moving parts, but I've yet to find one that costs less than $1000, and I'm not spending that much on any camera, and I'm not particularlly interested in replacing this one as long as it works.
