Solar Spotlight Cam (Battery) leaking water during rain storm
Have had a Solar Spotlight Cam installed under an eave for several months, but after installing other Ring devices, moved the Solar Spotlight Cam to surface mount on a fence. After the first rainstorm, the cam started alerting that the battery door was open. Turns out the battery door was closed just fine, but when opened, there was a small amount of water in the device. Anyone else have a problem with water leaking inside of the cam housing?I uninstalled the camera, removed the water, and allowed the unit to air dry in the sun all day. Tonight, it appears to be working fine, but I am concerned about future leaks. I've ordered a "weather shield" to see if that will help prevent future damage. Perhaps Ring should offer such a shield as an option to protect cams from rain/sun damage?

Where did you order the weather shield? I just discovered my stick up cam was flooded by recent storms. Can't easily remove cover, so I don't know how fast it will dry out.
