How do I stop snails climbing onto an outdoor security camera lens?

Our answer

Wipe away slime from the camera mount as its weatherproofing instructions allow, then prune stems that give snails a bridge. A smooth guard on the mounting post may help if it leaves the cable, ventilation and view clear. Avoid putting pellets or chemicals on the housing.
