Hi @Samara1,

 

I apologise for the delay in my reply.

 

Adding a canopy awning sounds like a great solution. However, it would be best to also add a hinged door seal to the bottom of the door to prevent any water from driving rain that might still land on the threshold and travel under the door. There's also a convenient self-adhesive option that you could easily install yourself.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hi @Samara1 

 

I suggest testing the location of the canopy first to make sure that it does not interfere with the cameras line of sight. As long as it does not cover its view of the house it should be perfectly fine to install the canopy. The same goes for the light installed, as long as it does not obscure the light there should be no issue in installing it.

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
