What's the secret to defrosting your camera?

Have this one bullet camera on my shed. Anyone else have this issue? Fresh from all the snow these past 2 days in New England

As that camera does not have a wiper, I think the only fix is to prevent snow from landing on the front of the camera in the first place.

It made for a great show until the picture went away

One of my LPR cameras is right in snowblower chute way if I’m not careful. I’ve had to brush it off a couple times. Could you fashion a shield over it? Like an extended sunshield to keep falling snow from hitting the lens?

Since it's a bullet I'm thinking:

• Get an empty round, soft plastic bottle, white if desired. (I had an empty dietary fiber bottle that would likely be perfect).
• Get a sharp box cutter or Stanley razor knife and CAREFULLY.....
• Cut off bottom
• Cut off neck
• Now switch to good scissors and.....
• Cut in half , down one side from neck to bottom, then do the same on the opposite side
• Cut more of length to suit.
• Cut more off one side to suit
• Affix to top of cam with 2 nylon zip ties, one at rear, one near lens.
• Done

If you screw it up...no worries!
