I would take the camera apart dry it out and grease the seals before putting a new silica bag inside. I had a BMW 435D with LED headlights and it was common for them to mist up like your camera but putting silica bags inside sorted this problem straight away.
I’ll add if you don’t or want to purchase a new silica packet. You can place the same in the oven to dry it out and reuse. You can usually get another year or two out of one going this route.
Cost you nothing but time . . .
'like others have said. make sure the packet inside is fresh, and also make sure it has a good seal.I ended up just removing the cover, wiping the lens, and putting a fan on it. it's now back up and working. time will tell if this keeps happening?
where would you get a new seal?'like others have said. make sure the packet inside is fresh, and also make sure it has a good seal.
where would you get a new seal?
air-dried it, then it worked for another three days till this morning. now my NVR says can not find the network host?
does this mean that the camera is dead?
of what should I try?
Thanks
Thanks, I cut back the wiring outside about two inches and it is working again.Assuming it’s just a connection problem I’d inspect, clean, and lube both ends of the RJ45 connector. If both have been confirmed as good insure the other end connecting the NVR is fine too.
You can also try to power it with 12 VDC and connect a new Ethernet cable to see if there’s a difference.
The next step would be to hard reset the camera to factor default and see if it comes back up.
The last two steps require you to pull the camera down to test and reset.

yes, I have water-tight couplers in them, it probably was a pinched wire.Awesome to hear now be mindful to have applied some dielectric grease to the RJ45 (Both Ends) to inhibit air & moisture to stave off corrosion. If the connector is using a water tight coupler you're good to go. If not, use some self sealing tape to prevent air & moisture from entering the connection.
