Your camera covered in snow

[Bill]

This is what your camera sees when the sun is shining on it, it’s covered in snow and you manually trigger it.
Explains why I haven’t gotten any pics in a few days.

Different camera, same story.

I do like manual trigger just to know my cameras are still there.

I'm trying a half 5-gal bucket cover to help with the snow. 2/3 would probably work better. Have slots in the bottoms to strap 'em on or could use screws.

 

[Bill]

Good idea.
Might have to remove them in the spring so the birds don’t make nest on your camera under that nice roof.

Good point. I guess I'll find out if they like to sit on the cam while it's snowing as well.

I only thought of it because they do that under the roof of my side door every year

I have seen people cut out sections of high cut tree stumps, and put the camera inside the cut out chunk of the stump. It camouflages the camera well too.

I’m sure whatever you missed was a giant !!

So far mine is working.
Second picture is a different camera. The antenna doesn't bend over so the cover is up higher than I'd prefer, but it still gets plenty of coverage.

Cool!
Hope I'm wrong on the birds

I'm the type that would just leave them be if they did decide to build a nest on the cam. Could actually get some interesting pics if the lens doesn't get covered with nest material or...crap.

Taken from the second cam pictured above. Keeping my fingers crossed.

With the snow today I was reminded of this thread and my diy covers. Here's a video I took last time I was checking cams.

 

[Bill]

I never did try that. Need to.

Would something like that also work to keep the dew,frost,etc from screwing up pics ?

I think it helps a little. I've still gotten foggy pics from the humidity/moisture in the air but it does protect against the drizzle/mist that can fog up and even freeze on the lens.

Snow? What is this white stuff y’all speak of? Lol

That is way too much of that. 1-2” a year is plenty. Don’t know how y’all tolerate that much of that stuff.

I actually miss it when Spring comes.

They probably have a pill to help you with that.
