Winter Camera Problem: Icicles

After a sunny, but really cold, weekend, tonight I saw this on one camera:

The camera is mounted below the eave of a garage, with the icicles hanging from the roof. The integrated IR reflecting directly back at the camera has shifted exposure, darkening everything else beyond.

Anyone else run into this issue? How have you handled it?

Replace all cameras with laser integrated PTZs and melt them off.

You could run a gutter heat ribbon to keep the gutter and downspouts from freezing, which will alleviate the entire issue. 10 min install.
