Wyze Outdoor floodlight cam pro blurry after rain

It looks very similar to the lens in a backup camera a family member had that kept fogging up inside.

Best I could tell on that there was no way to remove the lens without risking damage. I heated it up well with a hairdryer and put it in a bag of rice and it mostly cleared up, but since the replacement camera was under $50 I ended up just replacing it since obviously it would keep happening, and of course each time it dries out it will leave a bit of residue inside. The new one was significantly clearer.

When this happened to one of my V3 cameras I took it apart to clean it up and discovered that it still wasn’t clear because there was moisture behind the lens that can’t be take apart. I went back and forth with Wyze about the moisture problem but because it was outside of the warranty they initially wouldn’t replace it and offered me the same $15 gift card. I refused it and kept contacting them, they ultimately replaced my camera for free as a “one time courtesy”. I found their use of the word “courtesy” kind of insulting because the camera did not hold up to all their advertising about it being weatherproof. I could understand if the camera was outside during a hurricane, but it wasn’t. They even have videos showing how durable it is during rainy conditions, so if their testing was legitimate then clearly their quality control is lacking, which is true to form with all their products.
