my plan is to outdoor mount an ip bullet

with the barrel turned 90° on it's axix

to achieve a portrait mode stream

then i will motion alarm define the grassy area against the building
(low floor apt without window gates, that often opens their windows)
and use the top half to check the weather, parking, or on whatever.
i already have a hikvision cube for indoor security, like how they work
so i'm comfortable spending the premium on a hikvision bullet next,
something at least 4MP with a 4MM lense.
i noticed most of the short stubby IP bullets have a round or square barrel
some have sun hoods (sorry if this is the wrong term) that can be shifted
forward and backward along the barrel, or a hood is molded as the barrel.

so my question for anyone who has handled such a bullet is;
could i unscrew the hood, migrate it over to one side of the barrel
then use silicon caulk to glue the hood on the barrel side, so when
i reorient the camera it will now benefit from the hood overhead.
i know there are separate mounting brackets that add a sun hood

i simply want to know if any of the existing hikvision bullet styles
actually have a removable hood i can reorient 90° where i prefer.

example, this is a currently available square barrel ip bullet 4mp 4mm
can i DIY move the hood to either side of the camera barrel
without diminishing it's functionality - i don't care what it "looks" like
