Once the cam is past the warranty period

I developed internal moisture issues with my corn and that's numeral uno danger so make sure you always address this if it happens. I disassembled the corn and inspected the seal which looked fine so another measure had to be done to resolve it.

I use external power on my corn for better battery life incase one AA battery goes South it doesn't stop operations. Being as I don't utilize the cameras battery wells that was a perfect place for the silica moisture bags. I let the cam dry in the summer sun and I managed to get the drying agents into shape to fit and only inserted them far enough in to be able to pull them out with tweezers in the field. I put the cam back together and checked back next week.

The cam had moisture in it again but, not as bad. The IR had moisture in it only. I took it apart again and had a smaller silica bag and molded it to fit above the IR bulbs. Never had anymore issues since.
