Tips For To Keep Camera Lens Free Of Water Spots After Rain?

[MFinMO]

We just recently purchased an Arlo Go for our farm.  Before taking it up there we used it at the house for several days and it worked flawlessly (we wanted to test it because our farm is 2 hours away).  The first day we set it up at the farm it also worked great, until we had a storm come through and apparently the rain left water spots on the lens.  The camera works ok during the daylight but at night all you can see are the "blobs" from the water spots.  

Any tips for making this work better?  The areas we want to use the camera don't really have any overhead cover/structures so we're thinking we might have to fabricate some sort of roof unless anyone has come up with some good solutions?

Thanks.

Some have try rain-x type of porduct to stop water droplets ( haven't my self so test on a none critial section of front first )

Others have covers with like an open bird house to keep rain off cams.

Good luck , if you come up with something that works well, try and post it.

My only concern with the film is whether or not it will hamper the IR night vision...although the IR doesn't really work now so maybe it's not that big of a concern.

plastic should be ok, but not glass
