I am interested in outdoor ip camera. I need 6 units for installation on the beach. For this reason I would need a self-cleaning system for lenses otherwise the lens would be dirty in few days. Do you suggest me any camera with this feature?

Stick your I/O port equipped cameras in here, set up an event in the vms to flick the wiper every so often (and maybe on video tamper/loss).
$70.

Nov 03, 2016I have had various cameras installed at coastal locations for years, and amazed at how good they look, with no cleaning or maintenance (maine). I am not sure where you think the dirt or film will come from. Maybe you live in New Jersey?
I would think that an environmental dome can be used, on a wall pendant mount, and occasional rain and fog will keep it clean. Maybe a yearly clean from a security integrator is all you need. HD IP PTZ cameras are relatively cheap nowadays (500-1500 integrator cost) so I normally use these on Pole mount lift required installations. Normally used as fixed cameras, but orientation can be adjusted remotely if a different view us required, and search/investigation is possible by personnel and public safety. I am assuming these will be pole mounted via wireless.
