Trail camera condensation?

[dogman56]

Trail cam users how to you keep the condensation off the lens? Now we are into the cooler nights, I'm finding condensation on the lens which gives a foggy picture until it evaporates.

At all the game fairs there was a fluid demonstrated to be sold afterwards spread on specs supposed to stop smudging. I think it was really only washing up liquid. Would that not work?

On cheaper cameras. I have had issues with condensation inside the lenses- never got to the bottom. Other then to bring them home to dry out throughly. My Zeiss I have not really had any issues with.

I had a problem with condensation inside spypoint cameras a few years back. Sent them back, spypoint agreed they were faulty and refunded me.

I don't think the problem is condensation on the inside rather than on the outer surface.

Try wiping the lens with washing up liquid as a test "good fairy?".

Yes, I'll give that a go this evening, Thanks all!

I've had internal condensation on a Browning trail cam. As mentioned above, it evaporates as the day heats up, but photos can be spoiled.

I returned the camera & it was replaced under warranty.

Luckily mine is surface condensation
