I have had one replaced because water got inside the man in lens and fogged it up. After months it never cleared. Wyze thankfully replaced it without issue. One of my other ones is now showing some signs of fogging up. It has been foggy in the middle of the image now for three days. Hopefully when…

I have 6 v3 camera’s out side and not experiencing any issue with them. However, mine are located under the eves of my house. Where is your Camera mounted? The V3 has an IP65 rating: [image] Here is the IP Rating Scale: [image]

I have had 5 V3s outside since release. And have had zero issues with water, snow, ice, humidity or fog, uncovered, on poles watching the skies in the Midwest. I did fry a number of the adaptors as those are not water proof, but have since resolved that with the outdoor ac adaptors. There are some…

You’re nice. It’s right that you’re a Maven. :slight_smile:

One of my Cameras is under the outer lip of a garage door that is also inside an eves of the house. That one rarely gets direct rain but after a wind and rain event on it had water that looks like it entered from the lens itself up front and got inside the lens itself. The other one is under a deck…

We have V3 outside in Colorado and Montana with no issues

[image] jdawson.nf: But both units where bought within a few weeks of each other so they both maybe part of a bad batch of cameras and maybe I was just very unlucky. Hey Joe It’s possible. And it will be virtually impossible to verify. If people kept track of the hours spent diagnosing and…
