Why is picture quality getting worse?

Right here:

I think he took it apart and cleaned it based on the directions in this thread. Although it should be noted that this technically may void your warranty. If the camera is less than a year old and it looks that foggy already, you might want to contact Wyze Support and see if they’ll replace it.

I did miss that, thanks. But at $20 something bucks, I’ll void it all day long…

Yeah. I opened mine up, too, I just wanted to mention it. If you manage to brick the camera in the process, you’re probably on your own.

I had the same thing happen to me. I just cleaned the lens thoroughly. I didn’t take it apart.

I’ve heard putting a cellphone that was dropped in water into rice and it dried it out. Wonder if that would work for this?

It’s possible. It would be fairly cheap to troubleshoot it that way to :-).

Basically any way to remove humidity should work

With the realization this is an old thread, I have had the “foggy filter” problem on almost all of my v2 cameras. Disassembly and cleaning or removing the glass altogether has restored them to like new pictures. I have a v1 pan with the problem but have not attempted a disassembly.
FWIW this problem does not appear to be an issue with the v3 or v3 pro cameras.
