For Class 9, describe the strategy you recommend in your area for keeping installed cameras clean and unobstructed by insect debris or spider webs. Given the wide variations in geography and weather, general advice about frequency on method of cleaning cameras can be unhelpful.

For example 'Cleaning once per year' may simply not be frequent enough for a seaside area where corrosive winds/ salt mists coat cameras.
