Hi, I have 8 Hikvision 3mp dome cameras that go foggy at night. I have installed silica bags on the inside because I thought that was where the problem was originating. To my surprise, when I wipe the OUTSIDE of the dome with a cloth, the vision goes clear. The vision is perfect during day time operation and it is at night that I have issues. The day time temperature in Newcastle, Australia, is 35 degrees and the night time temp is 20 degrees celsius. Humidity is 80%. All 8 cameras are affected the same way.<br />
<br />
Is there a spray that I can use, to stop the fogging on the outside of the dome? And if so, is it long lasting, as I have 3 cameras that need a long extension ladder to reach the domes.<br />
Thank You

A digital camera or digicam is a camera that encodes digital images and videos digitally and stores them for later reproduction. Most cameras sold today are digital, and digital cameras are incorporated into many devices ranging from PDAs and mobile phones (called camera phones) to vehicles. Digital and film cameras share an optical system, typically using a lens with a variable diaphragm to focus light onto an image pickup device.  Digital cameras can display images on a screen immediately after being recorded, and store and delete images from memory. Many digital cameras can also record moving videos with sound. Some digital cameras can crop and stitch pictures and perform other elementary image editing.
