My cameras worked fine for a week or so now they will not pickup any motion. It has been raining for 2 days and I figured maybe the sensor got fogged up or something.

It may be because of that. When it rains mine misses a some of motion as I imagine rain limits sensitivity. And today, I went to live view and there was a fog spot after 2 days of rain. It usually dries out. I put Rain-Ex a while ago on the front (wipe lightly) but it seems to need it again. If it dries out, you may have another problem if it continues.
