Team, I wanted to mount this outdoors bought a case from amazon and I did the following Images Hope it helps someone. I purposely left off the Plastic shield so I wouldnt get the reflective IR light at night. I also wanted it to STAND OUT AS A CAMERA… :wink: . Deterrent https://www.amazon.com/g…

Thanks for sharing. I was checking dummy cameras on amazon during the weeked. Did you try not removing the plastic shield?. My my concern is someone trying to steal the camara or damaging the camera?. How secure is the dummy mount?

Yeah but the plastic shield will interfere at night with the IR lights, but yeah you can leave it on, Very secure dummy camera and the usb cable runs out of the back with the fake hole for the dummy power cable.

Or bees, spiders, critters in general etc… Really great idea, I think it just needs a fairly tight fit at opening maybe sponge door insulation around it. The glass (or plastic) on a “dummy” camera will definitely cause the infrareds to glare. this is the right idea… The lens must be open…

Have you used this at night with the IR fired up? I would think you will get plenty of glare off the housing given the view you posted. If you can see it in the camera view, the IR will more than likely reflect back.

Has the motion detection been Working properly?

Sweet! That’s much better than I was expecting considering the multiple ‘glare’ issues and solutions given. I can see by the shadows and reflection off the truck, there is a second light source fairly near the camera. Is that IR too? I like it! I think seeing the camera is a great deterrent.

@fresno Unfortunately that image is on the poorer side of the spectrum. :frowning: Your housing is definitely reflecting up the IR - that’s why the perimeter of the image is so light and the center so dark. It’s similar to looking out the window of a lit room at night - all of the light is bounci…

Turning off the IR while still in night mode is reportedly ‘in-development’. Hopefully, we’ll see it soon.
