Cameras worthless at night 5S 2K

The cameras are actually fine. The issue is dew condensation. I have to have the cameras away from the house so they are out in the open and every night dew condensation on the outside of the lenses make them useless. I have searched and searched for skins that would have a hood to keep the dew off (I’ve found them for other security cameras) but have had no luck finding anything for the 5S 2k.

Any ideas?

Have you tried RainX or anti-fog spray for bike helmets?

No I have not. Hesitant to put anything on the lens. Thanks for the suggestion. Do you think one of those would work better than the other?

I really appreciate your help.

You'll likely need to experiment a bit. But make sure you use products that are safe for plastic.
