I don't have any problem with name, whether it is "unknown" or "other". I
concentrated much on the feature.

The intention of proposing "unknown" is to cover the case where

1. Direction of facing is UNKNOWN in cases where we connect an external camera
using USB / bluetooth (ofcourse user can change the direction in the middle of
the session).
2. Rotating cameras apart from fixed top, down cameras.
