Over or under or side of light?

[Cj500]

I want to mount a Dahua IPC-HDW5231R-ZE to the stucco, but should I put it over the light, under the light, or to the side of the light?

The light is closed on the top, but completely open on the bottom and glass on the sides. They will usually be off, but don't want to mess up camera view if they are ever on. Will be pointing to view any entry into french doors.

This is the wall light:

To be sure, I'd try it on a wood 2x4 in a bucket of rocks; mount cam at 2 heights on the 2x4, try above lamp and try below to see how it looks at night with the lamp on.
I bring this up primarily because the existing lamp fixture has little or no diffusion and the light scatters everywhere and very well could totally blank out the cam at night.
After you try the 2 positions as mentioned above you may discover you'll need to maybe install a glare shield or (hopefully not) install a different light fixture....I'm sure WAF (Wife Approval Factor) plays into this a great deal as well!
