Abstract
An apparatus includes a fan and a chamber. The fan may be configured to generate an airflow. The chamber may include a tunnel with a first opening and a second opening and be configured to move the airflow through the tunnel and across a camera lens. The first opening may be located close enough to clean the camera lens by directing the airflow across the camera lens. The first opening may be on an edge of the chamber that extends the tunnel in a direction of an optical axis of the camera lens. The edge has an angle that corresponds to a field of view of the camera lens such that the field of view is not obstructed.
