Spiders On Housings

Recommended Posts

hi all,

i have a real problem on a site with spiders making webs across the housing lens windows. there is two camera's with built in ir's and one standard housing with no ir's.

the site is a horse riding stables, so lots of fresh manure and urine to attract flies, not that they don't clean it up asap. the flies are an obvious plentiful food chain for spiders - so the breed by the billions.

tried grease, vasiline barriers and insecticides. the little blighter's move right back in as soon as you clean the housings, even before you get th ladder down :realmad: .

so the only solution seems fit a wiper or wash wiper, noe looking for a supplier who can remedy this problem

something from your rusty tin Alan maybe, or maybe get undressed in front of them, with the light on, and as a last resort may i suggest a shotgun, one shot and they will not have anywhere to gmake their webs. :whistle:

this may seem dafter, but what about an introduction of a female spider to eat them all, apart from this Alan it seems like you have tried everything else.

I've heard that wd40 works wonders.

The opinions I express are mine and are usually correct!

(Except when I'm wrong)(which I'm not)

hi mjw,

will they work on external housings? as not in a confined space + damp during rain or dew.

wouldnt it be cheaper to glue a conker the the camera?

challenge them to a game and if they lose they have to find somewhere else to hide

DM do a wiper unit for their 506 housing but then you need to work out how you are going to switch the old girl on and off ?? Perhaps the beterware spray may be a good place to start.

cheers

hi Dave,

i'd simply fit a timer to run once every hour or so just for a few seconds, it don't need to touch the screen, just destroy the webs.

Are they making webs across the housing with no IR's? does this housing have a heater?.

Try replacing with vandal domes ;)

Hi AS,

these positions are very exposed, i did consider the vr dome route, but feared it will get another problem with rain running down the outside of the dome in wet weather. if fit a shroud above it, i might just land me back at square one.

there is 2 ptz domes on the same site, and even they have the webs on the domes, don't affect them so bad but enough to be a pia all the same.

Hi, as Dave said DM do wipers for a number of the housings in the range. If it's a Dennard camera housing let me know and I'll dig out details.

hi phill,

i have sourced a housing with a wiper attached, thanks for you help it is appreciated.

as it's to deal with the webs rather than clean, i'm concidering replacing the wiper blade with one of the ruling halfes hair roller's, as they scare the pickle out me :fear:

i'll settle for a pint of you at IFSEC then

i'll post what happens, if it is effective might rig up to a pole like a smoke head tester to save getting up to the camera's.
