Did an early order, and have been nothing but impressed with the cameras. Will certainly be ordering a few more. Using mostly for security/monitoring purpose and thinking of installing a few around the house, outside, under the roof in eave/rake where it should be protected from rain. My question i…

I have these In outdoor light fixtures to power the cameras , They work good . Power to the light fixture must always be on , I use Automatic dust to dawn LED light bulbs in mine https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01EPC102A/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
