Weather
Sun
Sun should be behind the camera to avoid glare.
Rain
Prioritize keeping lenses clean. Under a roof or wiping the lens at half.
Night
For recording at night, the less direct light in the lenses the better. If possible, tilt the camera to avoid glare from the floodlight.
Snow
Keep lenses clean and if possible, use a coloured ball.
