Camera cobwebs

[rmc86uk]

Does anyone have a clue how to keep cobwebs from CCTV cameras? Have to clean them every other day. Just can't seem to keep them off permanent!

Thanks in advance! [emoji106]

Try a spider repellant spray

Spray them with WD40. The cameras, not the spiders.

conkers are supposed to keep spiders away. try placing some on the the camera.

Put up spider spikes. They're like pigeon spikes but smaller.

here at the factory we put air lines on our cameras they keep the little buggers off the camera
(picture a person trying to handle a sheet of plywood in a hurricane)

Sounds like a perfectly good business opportunity to me. Set up a couple of guys in a van with some cones and scaffold and sell the service as a yearly contract to clean the CCTV cameras every 3 months.

On commercial cameras, a remote wash a wiper system is used the clear the camera case window.
A bit expensive for most purposes. But an idea could be to use a model servo motor and controller. This could, with some ingenuity and thought. Move a small plastic stick infront of the lens, removing webs.......or car windscreen washer jet, fixed to wash lens.....few ideas, which may work...!!

The local councils in the uk, do just that. Employ companies to clean the cameras and refill the washer fluid.

Years ago people used to use "Vic" on the apex of their soffit boards to stop birds nesting there. Possibly try that, you never know
