Condensation

I need some advice please.

How would you deal with condensation of water and oil on camera lenses, especially in restaurant kitchens.

My opinion was regular cleaning.

I am looking for any alternative.

Thank you guys.

Thanks.

Mostly dome cameras.

Yes, VST, that's exactly how I tell them to install.

Can dome cover be waxed? Will it work?

Thank you.

Try installing silica packs in the domes....they work well. Cosmicar and other lense manufactures ship them with their lenses (save them).

 

Throw a couple in rectangular houses. We throw them in the Extreme camera housings.

This might do the trick, it was devised for helmets etc but could provide you with some anti-fogging capabilities.

Man, I've seen people putting silicone all over the cracks on the domes, without thinking what about in the future when they need to open that dome up.

Does anyone replace these silica packs after a period of time?
