Foggy camera

[Baden87]

Hi
I have a problem with my reverse camera (twin lense setup ) the one that points down appears to have condensation inside the lense , any ideas how to fix ?

took my wireless one off and laid it on top of radiator in house,

In the first instance I would do something similar to chatteris but be gentle and just use the warmth of the airing cupboard for about 24-48 hours. I have disassembled and repaired two twin lens units and each had a tiny packet of silica gel inside to absorb the small amount of moisture from the air inside. If the warmth does not cure the problem or if it recurs I would split the housing and allow it to dry out then reseal it. Good luck.

I has a similar problem and bought a new camera but whilst waiting for it to be delivered I took the old one off and stripped it down to the lens and cleaned it,plus the internal plug connections.,put it back on and it's ok,a very small blemish apparent but otherwise perfectly useable.I now have a spare.

Hi
It’s going back to the guy who fitted it in October, I’m just curious ,it’s happening when it rains , and eventually clears when it’s stopped
He only uses good quality accessories and not the cheap and nasty Chinese thingys

When driving in rain ,I could see my camera starting to go blurry,but it was raindrops on the camera lens.when it dries out it was ok but the back of my van is flat so the water swirls around and covers the lens.you can see it build up. Will have to put some sort of shield over it to reduce the water on the camera.

I have the same trouble in the rain, A broom handle with a sponge tied to the end sorts it when we stop.
