Best Way To Deal With Internal Dome Smudges Affecting Night Vision?

Hi there,

I have some outdoor dome IP cameras which are displaying unwanted artefacts at night. Long story short, I know the issue is caused by smudges/debris/etc. on the inside of the domes. I have an extendable pole to clean the outside of the domes, but it's difficult for me to clean the inside of the domes (as the cameras are mounted on the second storey eaves of my home).
