Even with their IP rating, I made sure to install them under eves (with 2ft overhangs). I looked at the microphone location (@unboxing) and immediately thought "that cannot be waterproof!"

This system was recommended by a trusted EE/hn guy, and his have been functional since ~2016 (no RMA, to my knowledge; but his are also under well-under eves).

ESL readers: "eve" (noun) is the underside of a roof overhang

It's spelled “eave”.

Is that why nobody ever knows what I mean by "eve" [lol]?!?

Yup.

Thank you for the accurate update to my lexicon (I've only been in construction for decades!) =P
