Not sure how it happened, but recently I started to notice a haze over my cameras. Following the suggestions on this group, I did wipe off the lenses for all of them, but on my battery powered spotlight cam, I noticed the condensation was behind the lens. After discovering this, I took it down, opened the battery compartment, removed batteries (all dry inside) and let it sit in my dining room for a few days hoping that the temperature would normalize and the condensation would go away. That said, it's been three days, and doesn't look like there has been any change. Would love to get some ideas on how to handle this! Thanks!

The same thing is happening to my spotlight battery can. It is blurred, from what I can tell, most of the morning. It has started to last longer.

Starting to see blurry area on right side of image from vacation home. Will inspect camera when I return. If its same problem will try opening it and setting it on top of dehumidifier and cranking down the humidity setting to 30%. Anybody tried this?

Stick up cam making strange "clicking" or "banging" noise

While I am watching my stick up cam, occasionally I hear a noise like a click, or a pop or something. It is actually quite loud. I thought it was just the audio stream, but the physical camera is actually making a noise! This really sucks, because it actually wakes up my 3 month old if he is not deeply asleep. Makes it a gamble to check up on him with the cam...

If it is a single "click", you are probably hearing the IR Cut Filter moving into place. This is a physical filter that moves into place to provide enhanced low light vision. Pretty much every high-end camera uses them.
