Wyze Cam Pan: Making an outdoor unit

I put some covering over the Pan cam to make it an outdoor unit.

It worked ok for many months, but it died on me last week.

I have tried the " Protective Skin Case" but they are very flimsy.
It is a good cam, but not sure how to make it really an outdoor unit.

I’ve had one outside for a few months now. It’s protected by an overhang and mounted base side down. Most electronics will do fine outside as long as they aren’t exposed to the direct elements. Mounting it upside down would allow the potential for water or other stuff to enter into the base area or travel along the power cord into the power port.
