The inside of the dome of my outdoor IP camera is sometimes condensed. How can I prevent this?
There are several reasons why an IP dome dome can occasionally fog up and there are also several solutions to this problem. The camera must of course be suitable for outdoor use and must be properly mounted and/or sealed. Nevertheless condensation can still occur in situations such as big temperature fluctuations in a short period of time. The most universal and simple solution is often to place silica gel bags in the housing. Silica gel is widely available and inexpensive. Some manufacturers place silica gel bags in the housing as standard. Those bags should not be removed.
