As the title says it is there any way i can use all of my 4 cameras upside down.
Im asking this because i dont wanna use any tripods and just wanna mount them to my cieling with some tape or somthing. Is it possible?

Cheers Alex

Yes, you can use them upside down they just need to see the bulb.

No, i had one of my 3 cameras upside down and it worked just fine. So surely it would work with 4 cameras. And when you do calibration it will know where and how the cameras are placed.

Place the cameras in any position you want and the Tracker Pose Calibration(the part with the calibration mat) will determine the orientation of your cameras upside down or not.
The only potential thing to think about in positioning is putting your cameras on their sides as you would then get a larger vertical than horizontal field of view(still not an issue in calibration.)

As PlutoniumJones mentioned, please you can put the cameras in orientation you want. The important thing is that all of your cameras can see the calibration mat when you run the calibration step. Once that step is complete PSMoveService knows the position and orientation of each camera relative to the calibration mat. It uses that transform to convert a bulbs tracked position from camera relative space to the space of the tracking mat.
