Spiders on CCTV cameras

[pauld]

Has any one got any tips to stop spiders spinning webs over CCTV cameras. Keeps causing motion detection to trigger, apart from turning motion detection of I'm lost for ideas. :C

We have the same problem we have 60 cameras over 6 sites and always get false alarms from spiders.

We now have them cleaned bi-weekly

Maybe smear grease or Vaseline around edges so the web cannot get a hold - just a thought.

Thanks for the replies, I'll give the vaseline a try, had read about the IR have suggested separate lights.

Lemon Pledge is supposed to work as apparently they don't like lemon!

My missus has always been into aromatherapy and all that sh!t (a witch I'm pretty sure) If you want to go "natural", and no doubt a few customers will be eco aware then Google "essential oil spider repellent" and you'll come up with loads of ideas:

Of course, if it DOESN'T work and the customer can't identify the burglar as the camera lens was obscured then you'll at least be remembered as smelling nice!
