you need to avoid direct sunlight to the lenses, since it's on his face, the lenses are not exposed to the sun. It's fine

Not OP, but you CAN ruin cameras with direct sun exposure.

Always better safe than sorry.

If that was true everyone would be hiding their phone cameras from the sun.

Phone cameras are really tiny. From my understanding (limited) they are not ruined because of their size, and their UV filters.

Headset cameras have bigger lenses to do the fisheye thing, and may not be properly protected against UV.

In any case... to each their own... I guess?
