Default Neat CCTV camera installation

A neat and tidy triple CCTV camera installation here, though you'd think
they would wipe the pigeon poo off the domes once in a while. Might it
not have been better to mount them on a bracket with the domes facing
down?

You don't want dome cameras pointing down if they can get wet from
weather, etc.

The water forms drops on the bottom which means that part of the picture
will be distorted and/or fuzzy.

I would go as far as to say unheated domes shouldn't be anywhere they
can get wet if they are there for surveillance.
