My outdoor floodlight cam pro got blurry after heavy rain last Sunday. Was not expecting the cam just give up in just 1+ year.
I already have two more outdoor floodlight cam installed but i am skeptical to buy any cam from wyze.

Check with support, if you’re close to 1 year they might be willing to swap it under warranty. I’d also check it - my backup cam on my truck will sometimes look like that and it is just residue on the outside of the lens from whatever the rain washed onto it.
If it is inside the lens, a nice sunny day may dry it out.
That’s a good point and was one of my first thoughts: Visually inspect the camera’s exterior. It looks like it’s mounted high—and I can see the ladder in the shot—so one of my initial inclinations would be to wipe or blot it with a microfiber cloth or maybe something like a small mopping pad on a pole. I’ve also seen car cameras (backup, side mirror) give this appearance during and after rain.
Welcome to the Forum, @dreamhome! 
I already cleaned, restarted and reset. Seems like some water made to the lens. My warranty is over and support not willing to help
It was nice sunny day in Dallas. I already cleaned the cam multiple times. Lets see in few days it go away.
I was able to clear up moisture inside a friends backup camera by using a hairdryer on it and getting it nice and warm (not too crazy hot) then putting it in a bag of rice overnight. It wasn’t 100% perfect since it left a bit of residue behind, but went from useless to perfectly usable. However unless the cam on that floodlight is detachable, I’m guessing the bag of rice thing probably isn’t an option. But the hairdryer or heat gun on low may do it.
Unfortunately it probably will happen again though, the seal has been compromised it would appear.
I wondered if that’d already been done when I saw the ladder there. Thanks for clearing that much up. That blows that it’s out of warranty.
Mine does this as well. But then once it warms up it goes away.
Lately my Pro Floodlight is not recording to an SD card. Not even showing the icon 
SD card issues keep happening to me too. I think these outdoor cameras lacks longevity and also structural issues. Water should never get in the lense.
Mine still blurry. And now i am skeptical of replacing with another wyze Outdoor cam as they seems like not weather proof.
Wait for it to dry out
If 3 days of Texas sunny day not able to dry it then nothing will 
I’m suspecting that might be part of the original issue. Seals, o-rings, adhesive, etc all tend to degrade in southern sun a lot faster than they might in other conditions. Of course they should take that into account when manufacturing these cameras, but who knows, the maker of the above products may claim they’re more robust than they are. You said in the original post it was just over a year, have you tried contacting support, maybe they’ll make an exception.
