Has anyone had any issues with fogging in the lense or camera of a V3? All the best, Joe ---

Looks more like glare from the sun across the street just at the peak of the house on the right. ---

I have actually had water get into one of my V3’s. but it was a rather exceptional case and yes that cam is out of warranty…but it does still work. the exceptional case you ask? a very very low funnel cloud went through my back yard last year. surprisingly it didn’t rip the cam down, the bug tree in my back yard wasn’t so lucky. I ended up on TV because having a near touch down in a small back yard with NO damage to any surrounding houses was rather amazing. and of course I caught it on a few other cameras and that footage was used by meteorologists to verify a tornado producing storm as there were others that did touch down 🙂 it’s possible, but it takes a bit of work from mother nature. ---

As the V2s are not outdoors I would expect that but the V3s should be weatherproof. So I didn’t expect this to happen with them. And obviously Wyze didn’t as well as they are replacing mine. Should arrive in a few weeks. Very happy with the service I received from Wyze. ---

I had some V1/V2s get this haze. After watching some YouTube videos, I figured out how to disassemble and fix this issue. Thanks to Wyze for making it easy enough.
