Has anyone else experienced the image quality of their Outdoor cam getting foggy? My camera has developed a foggy image that seems to be inside of the camera, or on the inside of the lens. The camera has been sitting exposed for a few weeks with almost no protection overhead. Makes me wonder if mo…

Hi @StickyWhippit I’ve seen this in the other cams but not to this degree. Opening the WOC to clean would void the warranty. Suggest opening a Support Ticket. [image] Foggy image - possible hardware solution Tips & Tricks I recently realized that some of my wyzecam 2s ha…

@StickyWhippit Welcome! I’ve seen only a few users that have run into this on the outdoor camera. It is recommended to let the foggy lens clear up on its own. See this support article. [image] My camera lens is blurry from condensation. What do I do? It should clear up on its own. As w…

I have read the same support article. The only difference seems to be I can wipe down the lens on the outside and really see no results. I do live in a humid area however once 90+ degree temps arrive in the afternoon there is still no real difference in the image.

Because you have 90 deg. temps, wonder if the Li-ION battery is offgassing. You could open one of the protective covers and see if there is a smell of volatile organic, like a solvent smell.

Understood. We’ve had a lot of temperature swings in the last couple of weeks here in the mountains of Virginia, but haven’t experienced anything like this so far. If this issue continues I would start a support ticket with Wyze. There is always a possibility that you have a defective camera.

Is it fogy all the time? Night and day? If you take it inside the house does it go away?

@Omgitstony You’re a poet and don’t know it. Sounds like the beginning of a country song.

I’m definitely not a bloodhound however nothing seems to smell…weird. However opening the charging port and more specifically the sd car port to sniff for a bad battery does lead me to confess that the camera has been mounted upside down to ensure that the motion detection zone was in the appropria…

It is definitely foggy both night and day. I just brought it inside for the night to test this idea.

I’m guessing that fungus is growing on the lens inside the camera. That foam base is an excellent medium for growth. Try a mixture of half distilled white vinegar & water with a disposable wipe to clean. Don’t know about the inside since it’s sealed and wouldn’t be an “outdoor cam” if opened.
