I have a Lorex LNB4173 bullet cam that I'm installing and am a little surprised to find it doesn't seem to be able to rotate around the axis perpendicular to the mounting base. If I mount it on the ceiling, it seems to be fixed pointing in that direction. I can move it up or down, but not around side to side. The screw holes are not even slots so there's no wiggle room if you mess up or change your mind later. Am I missing a way to rotate it parallel to the ceiling (after mounting)?
Can Lorex bullet cam rotate around the base?

Yes, you can.
From page 2 of the Lorex QSG:
1) Loosen the screw.
2) Grip flange (part with the screw holes) in one hand, rotate part that had the screw you loosened until the slot in that part moves from bottom or top to one side...that way you can "pan" the cam left or right; rotate the slot to top or bottom to "Tilt"; move about 45 degrees to get a little of both pan L & R and a little tilt up & down; rotate cam (part B) as suitable.
3) When you're happy with the alignment, tighten the screw.
The Amcrest (rebranded Dahua ) bullet cams have the same mount.
