So one morning after it rained, I went to check the security camera system, when I found out one of my cameras outside had this white cloud in the middle, I first assumption was that it was just small fog, so the next day I checked, it was still there. I went outside to check the camera and took a look, there was moisture behind the lens. I was a bit worried, since videos on YouTube said that if this happens, you might need to replace the camera. When I put it in rice so it could dry off, it got worse. A primary cause of condensation in security cameras is that they are not properly sealed. Often times with cheaper cameras, they do not offer the water-resistance rating they claim. These should be avoided as most times, they will quickly fail and you will spend more money replacing them with the proper equipment. To prevent security cameras from becoming foggy at night, another good solution is to put a small packet of silica gel inside the outdoor CCTV cameras. This problem has been going on every time it stops raining, and it basically renders the camera useless. I believe the reason why the camera is fogging up is because it was made with cheap materials from China, so I should’ve gotten an American brand. Such desiccant materials are capable of removing moisture and drying out the air and thus, avoiding CCTV camera condensation problems. Unfortunately, the only silica gel I have is from a seaweed packaging, plus, its almost impossible to stick the gel in and then take it out, since I cant disassemble the camera. I hope you enjoy this blog, and I will see you next time, bye.
