I had similar issue with foggy lens on a DS-2CD2385FWD-I
I dismantled the camera , wiped lens and inserted a silica gel bag inside it (from a box that had a new pair of trainers).
Been fine since.
If you get some cheap quality plastic flexible conduit (10M contractors pack) , the ends on them are usually split. The cheapness in the quality of the pack , should mean you can forcefully screw it in.
If you PM me your details , I could find one in my garage and post to you ?
I have just updated my DS-2CD2335FWD-I with this firmware and getting garbled configuration menu when logging in directly with IE to cameras ip address ...
I am unable to click on anything on the left hand side.
I want to add another external camera to my home, but for the side of the house that will have a relatively narrow view, that will cover access to my side gate.
I have a couple of options for location …..
1) Up high with cable through loft and out through external wall
2) Ground floor...
