T Posts did not cure my problem as that is all I had mine mounted on. It may be the particular camera make as when I sent mine back in, do not remember the make/model of the ones the wood peckers hit constantly, but the people that made the camera told me it was probably the sound that the camera made when taking a picture. The wood peckers thought it was the sound of insects inside like they would hear insects inside the bark of a tree. Junked those cameras and went with Brownings and, knock on wood, no problem since and we still have a ton of woodpeckers.

They typically only do that to the dark fresnel lens covers.

I have some cameras with a white lens and they don’t touch them.

Interesting. What brand of camera has a white lens?

[deerplanter]

I have my cell camera in a metal box, this is not it but something like this. They have different ones for different makes.

Yeah I wasn't laughing when I got to the lease and 3 cameras were ruined. Dang the luck

I get that I will be putting my Spartans back up this weekend if all goes well . They both failed back in Oct . Been testing them in the back yard got a bunch of pics of the dogs chasing squirrels and leaving piles to be picked up .

Didn't T-Mate come out with a cover that goes on top of the camera? I think I remember wood ****** deterrence being one of the selling points. Could be mistaken though.

EDIT: found it. Not sure it'll help in your setup

Really? ****** triggers the filter? "Woodpecker" =/= "Wood ******" #SpacesMatter

Thanks.

James at Snyper tried to get me to re-brand the T-Shade as the PeckerWrecker. Unfortunately that might drive web traffic I might not want.
Some customers swear it did the trick other not so much.
Might be worth a try though.
