Solution:
The moisture can be removed by keeping the camera running for a period of time. (Usually within 5 hours)
You can manually turn on the IR LED (night mode) to speed up the process.

NOTE: If the ambient temperature is lower than normal temperature, it might take longer to remove the moisture.


Instructions for turning on the IR LED:
