Ring Camera in Rain - not good

Question

Our ring camera views get wiped out in the rain. Alarm goes off and we view and see nothing but drops on the lens. Makes them virtually useless in light mist to rain. Was wondering if anyone has had any luck with covers or rain-x type sprays. We have no way to place under cover of house due to location and they are under eaves. Photo attached taken during alert.

I have the same problem but was afraid to use something like Rain-x.  I couldn't find an enclosure that I thought would work so I've just made one out of a piece of 4' plastic drain pipe, which the camera will fit inside of.  It needs a window about 3'x4' in front so a blowing rain can still get in, but I'm going to see how much that protects it from light tain and snow.  There are a few plastic 'ledges' on Amazon to screw above the camera and provide a little bit more cover if your wall doesn't have an eave to put the camera under, but I  didn't think that was much protection.
