HDW5231R-Z in direct sun?

im buying a couple of these but will be mounting one where it will sit in the hot sun at least half of the day. This is in phoenix az where the sun rarely goes away and this camera will heat up hot to the touch in the summer. Just curious if there's been issues with sun exposure.

I have a few other model Dahua cameras mounted in full sunlight for most of the day. Never had any problems with them in almost two years. Just don't try painting the original white enclosure any other color, as that will increase the retained heat. The aluminum bodies, factory-painted white, tend to reflect away a lot of heat. If you paint them, you lose that.
