How to keep the cameras from fogging up?

[Thyg0d]

Hi!

So lately the weather has gone from -10 to +5 (celcius) and with high humidity this 
fogs up my cameras outside rendering them completely useless. 

Anyone got any good suggestion on how to keep them from fogging up? 
I doubt it will love a heated cable.. =D

TIA!

You can try something like Rain-X on the lens, a skin with a hood on it, repositioning under an eave, etc.

Did you find something that works? I've been having the same problem the last couple of days, as we are under a dense fog advisory. My cameras all have the hooded skins and are under eaves. Wipe them off and they are fine, give it an hour or so - all fogged up again. Wipe again and repeat.

Rain-x works okay but I moved the camera under the roof eventually anyway just because it was a more permanent solution to the problem.. 🙂
