Hi all,

After some general advice regarding installation - I have a Hikvision DS-2CD2387G2-LSU/SL that's around 4 years old.

It suffered water ingress and now unfortunately seems to have died completely.

I installed it myself so I am entirely responsible if this is an incorrect install (pictured below). Neither the seller or Hikvision are interested in helping because of this, so I want to make sure I get this right when I replace the camera next.

The camera is oriented this way because it's aimed at a long narrow driveway so this orientation suits it better. RJ45 water seal was used. Inside soffit seems dry when I removed the camera. I presume the primary issue is the orientation of the camera, but what's the correct way to install if I want this orientation?

Thanks for your help,

Max
