I've the same issue ... wasps flying on my cameras. Besides the obvious, I'm more concerned they'll climb behind the ball and through the hole the wire runs through to the attic. Has anybody else with the wasp issue had this happen? Do they make some kind of grommet to seal the hole or should I just caulk/spray foam the hole?
I haven't had the problem, but, one look at one of turrets installed, and I perceived the possibility right out of the gate.
Get some of that round, grey foam rubber used for sealing cracks and crevasses, slice some length-wise, and carefully push it into position in that gap, flat side on the ball. Like so:
Make sure to get
well into the edges. Those wasps can be persistent.
You'll note I've also sealed-up the
smallest of gaps around the base, incl. plugging the cable notch (can't be seen in this photo) with clear silicon caulk. (Painter's/roofer's trick: To use your finger to smooth silicon caulk, wet the finger with a little saliva. The caulk won't stick to your finger.)
Both of these solutions have the advantage of being not messy. The foam rubber gasketing can of course simply be pulled out. That clear silicon caulk just peels right off, leaving little but a light residue, also easily removed, behind.
