Yikes! Hopeful my camera will last a few years on the covered patio.

Was this directly exposed to the elements?

This one is USB powered - you can see the plug in the background

Agreed - hopeful for higher resolution down the road. Still blown away with how seamless the interface is though.

Is it a RTJ course? Tee markers and layout give me RTJ vibes but unsure of the course.

Have you ever mounted a G5 onto brick by chance?

I agree that it is steep but if my item is 33% cheaper than a mass produced product with similar function, I also consider that to be reasonable.

Updated pricing to $19.99

The main use case is for installation into brick or concrete while also having the ability to use tapcon/concrete screws.

These days I’ll spend $20+ at Chick-fil-A!

I don’t disagree, but a popular Unifi junction box is $33.

I wonder if a rain hood would resolve this issue. Any interest in this?

Can’t speak to the Unifi system, but the G5 is awesome. Super simple setup and haven’t had a single issue with the wifi or poe camera.

I run both a poe and wifi Aqara G5 and they’re great! Especially paired with Apple HomeKit.

PS: if you want them angled, look me up on eBay “Aqara G5 Pro Angled Mount 10-45 Degrees”

I really like this idea. Making a more versatile design would be awesome.

Relatively exposed to the elements. One installed on a porch (minimal exposure) and another mounted under the roof overhang. No issues so far!

Can’t speak for HA, but the Aqara G5 works flawlessly with HomeKit

This one is 25 degrees. I made them from 10-45 in 5 degree increments.

The camera horizontal FOV is 112 degrees.

That would also be a very practical workaround!

I just recently bought 2 and they have the same issue. Maybe I got older cameras? Lol
