Getting the hang of it
Hi Revlus,
1) I would try this, and I know in general not a good idea to put an indoor camera behind glass, however in this case the glass is cut into smaller pieces so you can more easily isolate inside light from getting in and in this case I think it's worth trying as the view is straight on - at test worth testing out.
You have a lot of glass on that door, you could try a indoor Hikvision CUBE or similar camera pushed right up to the small clear glass section by the doorbell, turn of the IR on it, and see what sort of results you get?
( you can use black felt around the lens to seal the inside light from getting into the glass/lens.
2) The other option seems to me to accept the possible UV exposure issues and sun reflection issues and plan to replace or look at UV protection options on the mini-dome.
3) Maybe have to change to the 42xx turret model? Larger and not as pretty, but solid performer
Thanks for the reply. Don't think Option 1 would work due to the WF. (wife factor). I'd need to set something pretty ugly up to get that to work.
Has anyone used the windshield glass protectants on camera lenses? (see that link)
It suggests it has some UV protection... and lasts in the rain, has dust/snow/dirt protection due to the 'slippery' surface, etc.
If I can do that with the wedge... and not be forced into 1 or 3... happy wife... happy life.... :-D
Thoughts on the protectant?
