Look real but only last about 1 year exposed to the weather

Previous purchase of units like this last about a year. Mine are exposed to the weather and eventually water gets inside and ruins them. The manufacturer recommends not placing them where they are exposed to the weather, but this is difficult for me to accomplish. Right after I installed this unit we got 4 inches of rain and it’s still working a week later. I have five units that completely surround my house and nobody knows they are fake. Those flashing lights really get people’s attention. Changing them out takes less than 5 minutes so spending $100 a year seems to me like cheap insurance. Wished someone made a unit that was waterproof, however.
