How to deal with wet cameras.....

[Haulero]

How do you guys keep your cameras from getting wet, like... foggy? I have that problem where I live, most of the mornings are foggy and my cameras get "wet" and can't see clearly. If someone is outside at night, I won't be able to see clearly because of that.

Try Rain-X or similar on the camera lens.

I have been having the same problem.

I used an old take out container to surround the camera.

Looks funny, but if it works..... Does the edges of the cup show on the video? I tried something similar but I didn't like it because it was blocking the view a litte bit on the sides.

I tried but didn't work. May be I need to try a different type of rain repelent. I used window cleaner with Rain X

If the camera is positioned correctly it does not pick up the edges.

We had a few nights with very high levels of dew. This really did the trick trying to monitor the coyotes entering my property. 

This one was shot using my modification.

What about on a windy day, any problems with it moving around or amplifying wind noise?
