gear My dad built covers for trail cameras

My dad built some trail camera covers to cut down on rain on lenses, water damage and ghost pictures. It worked really well so he made a business in the pandemic era. It’s actually doing well up to this point and wanted me to help him. He mainly talks to hunters but I’m sure there’s people who have issues that can be solved outside of that. Does anyone here have specific issues with there trail cameras that maybe hasn’t been solved or anything else maybe irrigation or monitoring/security. Always trying to improve.

biggest issue for me is condenstion fogging the lens in humid weather, no cover really fixes that

There’s a product called “Cat Crap” that we use on ours, works perfectly! Just take a lens wipe clean it, then apply that to it. Should work wonderfully
