Ring spotlight camera battery is fogging up and useless in the night

Hi Installed my new ring spotlight camera battery but the camera gets very foggy in the night and pretty much useless when it is supposed to be watching for intruders. Not sure if any one else has found a solution for it. Attaching a picture for your reference.

    Hi @dileepmohanan. Have you tried wiping the surface of the lens off with a dry washcloth to remove any built up moisture or debris? I'd give that a try to see if it resolves the problem of the Camera's view being fogged up overnight.

      I have same problem. Wiping doesn’t resolve it fogging over the night. Any other options?

        Do what divers do with googles, but instead spit on a bit of rag, give it a good wipe..

          Having to wipe down the camera every time is a problem for me. My camera is mounted. I paid a lot of money for this camera, this shouldn’t be an issue. ![image|690x318](upload://iwQl9M1ULoIuDKIVosrOPxolDZU.jpeg)

            I'm very concerned with the trend here. Every serious problem (night lens fogging, reduced siren volume, etc. ) is met with cookie cutter responses from Ring that smell of a brush off. "Give the support team a call", "have you tried wiping down the lens"? BS like that. What is the point of this forum really???

              Hi @Byrdman10. This forum is a neighbor-to-neighbor support forum, and not a direct line to support. This is where neighbors can come and join a conversation about their Ring devices. If support is needed, another neighbor or a moderator like myself can offer easy troubleshooting steps to try and resolve the issue. If the concern requires more support than what can be offered in the Community, we'll suggest reaching out to our support team for more in-depth and personalized assistance. I hope this helps.
