Hello,
I have four Lorex Dome Cameras that produce condensation here in Hawaii. Condensation only happens at night when the temperature falls. Measured ambient temperature at 70degF and the dome camera produces 81degF, measured with a Fluke thermocouple. All cameras are installed under the eaves of the home to prevent getting hit by rain. All cameras have IP66 rating.
These are the Lorex Dome Cameras that are in question:

The cameras do have two dessicant packs in them from factory. Condensation appears both on the lens area as well as the IR LED area.
I tried on one camera (before installation), to use Permatex Gasket maker on all seams of the housing body, including the seams of the lenses and housing (both sides of the black IR LED isolation ring). No success.
Do I need to put more dessicant packs inside? Have anyone tried using the Rain X Anti-Fog on the inside of their lenses?

My Lorex Kit also came with 4 bullet cameras that do not exhibit the same problem:
