You could protect it in the same way they shielded the pad cameras during apollo (such as the E-8 camera https://youtu.be/DKtVpvzUF1Y), with a quartz shield

A quartz shield doesn't help if it gets coated in iron by a hot plasma. I think the only solution would be sveral shields you can jettison.

The glas used would probably be ok if the flaps held up.
