Wow... that looks interesting but way more than I need and the HOA and/or my neighbors would probably complain about something that big and noticeable anyway.

I wonder if one could you use something like that with a Rain-X type product?

Thank you. If I knew how to easily and quickly make a custom rain shield then I might try that... but at this point I am not sure how to do that. Are you aware of any YouTube videos or web pages that would help with this? Putting the camera under the overhang didn't work for the way I wanted...

Well, I don't want to obstruct any of the camera view. Do you know of a rain shield that would work with a Hikvision DS-2CD2032-I ? I have searched for them but didn't see anything that I thought might work. Maybe there is a silicon one that I can wrap around the camera to provide some extra...

Found this: camera and rain!!! Some ideas to try but no real definite answer on whether it's a good idea to use a rain repellent.

Yeah... which is why I'm asking. Maybe I should just leave it as it is? I'm hoping there is something safe and effective though.

I have a sky/weather cam and when it rains some drops form on the lens and it 'disturbs' the image. What is the best way to keep rain drops off the lens? I don't want anything complicated. Is there something simple like Rain-X I could apply on the lens to prevent water droplets from forming &...

That's what I used but it doesn't work at least for me. I get a green streaming status for just a few short seconds then the stream dies... and yes I have audio enabled. Did anyone here actually get it to work?

That was great except it doesn't work. I get a green streaming status for just a few short seconds then the stream dies... and yes I have audio enabled. Did anyone here actually get this to work?

Used the Android BI app just yesterday and it worked fine.

Can't get YouTube live streaming to work either. The stream status turns green on YouTube but only shortly. I have "Enable audio channel" checked in the camera's properties (with IP camera stream).

Anyone got this to work? I tried instructions here (looks like they could be updated): How to Stream an IP camera to Youtube using Blue Iris – usefulramblings Blue Iris kept crashing so I reported it and the latest version fixes the Blue Iris crash problem but I still can't get live streaming...

The long exposure seems to work best at night. Since I am using mine as a sky & weather camera (in day mode so no IR) I think it's worth it using long exposures without WDR... of course I wish WDR was available too. As for documentation, the web interface could have easily made this limitation...

Thanks all! I figured it was something like that... just wanted to make sure there wasn't actually something wrong with the camera (didn't think there was) and to share the image.

I have seen other moving objects leave trails like this with the camera. I have not noticed this on my 2032 cameras but I don't have the exposure set so long (and the FPS rate so low) on those because those are actual security cameras whereas with this one it is more of a sky and weather camera...
