RootsBooster Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 vaselines waterproof.. wonder if that will block the lens in the future? I didn't actually put grease on the lense I put it around the edge of the lense and the surrounding areas on the housing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestarter0 Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 i meant if it moves, like with its own weight or if rain pushes it. should be fine, was just wondering. im pretty sure vaseline is moveable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimba Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I didn't actually put grease on the lense I put it around the edge of the lense and the surrounding areas on the housing. I was going to suggest using vasaline until I spotted someone posting it, then I started to giggle thinking its a good job no one told you to use grease I had a right laugh when I saw you had What happens when he sun melts the grease all over the lense ? It will be worse than the spider webs to get off I bet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longcol Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I have some external CCTV cameras at work with infra-red illumination (night vision). Each one seems to have a spider living near it that keeps spinning fine webs across the lenses. The day time viewing is unaffected, as the strands are so fine you can't see them. The problem is at night when the infra-red illumination reflects off the strands, leaving the recording blinded. Does anybody know of any tips or deterrants to keep the little blighters off the cameras? I'm sick of getting the ladder out and cleaning them off! You need an old lady who's swallowed a fly. http://www.timmyabell.com/music/lyrics/ol/oldlady.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strix Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I'd have superglued cedar strips to it - for the same reason leaving conkers in secluded spots in your house discourages them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcoblog Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Grease is NOT the word! What you need to do is Superglue bluebottles all over the lenses. I'd imagine around 50 on each lens for maximum spider frightenedness capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
