An apparatus including a cover, an actuator and a processor. The cover may be configured to enable light to reach an image sensor. The actuator may be configured to cause a vibration of the cover at a particular frequency. The processor may be configured to generate image frames from pixel data generated by the image sensor and present a control signal to the actuator in response to an input. The input may activate the vibration at the particular frequency. The particular frequency of the vibration may cause debris to be removed from the cover.
