Looking to replace mt driveway cam which is about 8 years old with a newer better more full featured model. Several I've looked at say "Don not expose to direct sunlight". My present has absolutely no problem with this. Every evening when the sun is setting the picture gets quite hazy and motion detect doesn't work as well but as soon as the sun drops behind the trees all returns to normal. There has been no deterioration of the image over the years and the cam mounting hasn't been touched.
So my question is - Are all modern cams designed such that they are damaged by direct sunlight? Do cams exist that are designed for such an environment?
This is the only unresolved issue keeping me from replacing the cam.
P.S. - I'd rather not angle the cam down to avoid the sun for a number of reasons.
