Have had several instances where game camera shots taken at night are all blurred, either by rain or condensation from dew or fog.
To my knowledge, none of the cameras come with any type of rain bonnet or cover to keep the lens free. Anybody have the same problem and what is the solution? I made a rainguard by cutting a butter tub in half and nailing to tree above cam. It solved problem.

Couldn't do that on state land. If you do you can bet the camera will be gone. I put my cameras in pines and blend them in. The tree acts as my rain shield. A lot of my cameras are up high pointed down so no rain gets on lens.
Wish I had more time to trap....

Use a gallon milk jug. Cut it so the bottom acts as a shield and it is held in place by sliding one side behind the cam. Can also paint them. I usually angle the sides so it fits better over the cam. I usually on my homebrews make a type of shield above the lens that helps some. Put some silica packs inside and it may help a bit to absorb moisture. Any way you do it with temperature changes fogging is likely.
