sunlight is necessary for your viewing purposes, provide protection for the image sensor.
Lighting: Consider installing your camera faces the same direction of the light sources.
Shooting images with top-down position outdoor or next to the existing light source are
good choices. Avoid the light source if it creates a shade that darkens the viewing area.
