That is quite sad. Would an enclosure help? Such as the birdcage type?
Nope, it’s the lense itself and covering the lense is not an option.
The lenses I have replaced, so far haven’t failed.
So obviously the replacement lenses (non-Wyze) have better glue or sealant

Tell Forest Kitty and all the other critters around your house to stop “Watering” the cams. 
Perhaps if some lawyer would take the case as a class action something might change but I doubt that will happen as it is occurring over multiple camera platforms. Pushing out products quick without long term or accelerated testing is bound to failure and that is what it seems in this case. You could test your product new off the assembly line and get one thing, but after a few months of sun or outdoor element degradation get totally different results. If you have a good test program you will catch it, or if you learn from field failures and actually make adjustments to the testing and / or design… They last for a bit, then they don’t…
t If you’re going to do a class action against a company you need to do it against one that has more money than Wyze.

It’s very difficult to mount when the mount is attached from above, for example, from a ceiling, or, overhang of a roof. Has anyone seen some sorta double pivot point mount? 
All my v3’s and the one v4 are mounted from the overhangs. I had no issue mounting them.
Routing power was easy?
They’re not that high, one story only. and wasn’t bad at all. I’ll post some pictures later.
I was always curious on how to supply power outside. I could see using a socket plug in some places.
This one was the easiest. There is a plug inside the garage about ten feet away.
The v4 is fed by a 30feet USB from an outdoor outlet.
The rest of the cameras are at the cottage and all have outdoor plugs within ten feet of each other.

Very nice. Thanks.
I only have one outdoor plug.
Me too at home 
But when I built the cottage twenty years ago I put three, two at the front and one at the back. I also wired my tool shed so one camera is plugged in there.
One mistake I made is that I didn’t run ethernet cable, but at that time my cottage didn’t have internet and cell. Things are different now

It can be done… but i had to MacGyver it with an old tennis show, a pack of gum, a squeeze clamp, a cantilever beam, and, 2oz of 10W-40…

Interesting …
Well… the context of this thread is about preventing water from finding its’ way inside the cam.
And, #2, I wanted to retain the same mount I had when there was a V2 up there.
And, bonus #3, I’m familiarilizing myself with mounting options for 2 other outside cams… those are mounted from the side of a wall.
All good valid points, however water intrusion when mounted under an overhang becomes moot. All my cameras are mounted upside down for over two years in a Northern Ontario environment, rain, wind, snow, blizzard…
I had cameras covered in frozen rain and no water intrusion.
