This is a Loryta Outdoor 4MP Ultra Low Light Starlight+ Camera

I'm guessing that the circular fuzziness is moisture gathering on the lens?

Is something like Rain-X effective and safe for the camera?

Or, should I install a small solar charged, battery powered, fan?

Thanks.

What is that light source far to the right? The circle could be the reflection of that light on the lens optics.

I don't think it's moisture but next time it looks like that live go out there and wipe the lens with a soft, clean cloth and find out. :cool:

OK, just went out and tried that - oddly, no effect at all.

Is this just a typical artifact of night view with this sort of camera?

That looks like IR bounce. Are the sides or the top next to the camera extended up to camera or slightly beyond? Or something just below it?

Slightly beyond, especially the top. Should I paint the overlapping edges flat black to stop the reflections?
