Ended up giving in and mounting it exposed on the side of the eave. No glare whatsoever now and only lost a few feet of visibility on all sides. Thanks everyone for the insight.

Appreciate the detailed feedback. I would say this is a temp mount at this point. I could certainly leave it like this but the soffit is very flexible and sags slightly under the weight of the camera. I found the DORI for the 2.8mm vs 4.0mm versions of these cameras: Detect Observe...

Yeah, I guess I could get the bullet visor/lens right up to the edge of the eave vs the turret being set back due to the mount. We have quite a bit of spiders, but I don't have any bullets to know if that would be an issue there. I have never had any critter interference with turrets in about...

Mounted in the same location? Amcrest IP8M-2496EW-28MM is the equivalent bullet. Does the visor help that much on these?

Here is a photo for reference. Please excuse the grime!

There is actually no soffit in the view of the camera. I am assuming it is the soffit based on when I lower the angle, the reflection nearly disappears. This particular camera is mounted on a 1-story soffit about 9ft off the ground. If I lower the angle any more, I will miss the driveway that...

Good call. I can get images shortly, but I did not use a junction box or standoff of any kind. It is mounted directly to the soffit.

Just purchased two Amcrest IP8M-T2499EW-28MM turret cameras and need some kind of way to reduce the IR reflection. They are soffit mounted and are reflecting the IR horribly. I know, I know it's Amcrest and they're rebranded Dahuas. The price was right and it has the Starvis sensor as...

I will check the Windows Update history when I get home and report back.

Since updating to the latest version and enabling MQTT publishing for alerts over the weekend, BI is constantly crashing. I'm not sure which is causing the issue - just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing similar issues. I'm happy to pull logs to post when I get home today if that...
