I have a door opening to a deck facing due west. If I put a camera there it will get direct sunlight into the lens for a few weeks during sunset, maybe 20 minutes. Is this an issue for the camera? And, if so, what's a good solution?

I have a west facing camera that gets late day sun and two more that face east and get it in the morning. Other than the temporary "blindness" it hasn't been a problem for years for me, anyway.

I'm ok
I have several that get full sun for a while each day, no problems.

I also have a camera that looks for storm clouds and it gets direct sun quite a while each day.
