From Clearview's FAQs:
*If there's no hood, how is it going to help in bright sun?
With your eye less than 2 inches (50mm) away from the camera, much of the ambient light is already blocked, or outside of your field of view.* If glare enters from the side, it's easily blocked with your hand; you can even form a "hood" with your free hand, when needed.* Your eye sees only the screen, and it adjusts itself to that light.
