Is it condensation inside or has it dried up? If condensation, let it sit in the sun or use a hair dryer to dry up the condensation. I’d also get a ticket open because the seal is probably broken and the camera needs replaced. ---

Yeah I tried the hair dryer method and it did not help the Mower pro module still thinks everything is a obsticle because of it closer look looks like all the cameras are foggy ![Screenshot_20251102-141751](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex007/uploads/yarbo/original/2X/1/16e18c3032179cc71623ec4d551b428c963ba5d4.jpeg) ---

You could switch to gentle contact for now to keep mowing. Just keep in mind that is bumper only so you need NGZ’s around anything you don’t want it to run into/bump before it avoids it. ---

Settings, area settings, chose the area you want, click the gear, and then under obstacle avoidance mode select “gentle contact” ---

Welcome to Yarbo where the hits just keep on coming. A sealed camera lens should not have condensation, I would call them, that’s a replacement I would think. ---

If you are on the latest app and firmware there is a server side issue right now that might be causing the “offline” issue with the app. Bluetooth range it should work. You will need to disable vision for all areas and pathways for it to work effectively with the cameras obstructed. “Gentle Contact” mode for all areas and disable obstacle avoidance for vision in all pathway settings as well. ---

See if this is helpful. Unless it’s not loading because of the server issue, which is also possible. Area settings would be greyed out if so. > **[\[2024\] Yarbo Lawn Mower Area Settings Compilation](https://wiki.yarbo.com/en/lawn-mower/app-guide/area-settings)** ---

Finally stumble into the Setting set it to gentle contact and it moves about 5 feet in the open area and loses GPS signal I can honestly say that between the last three Firmware update it has steadily gotten worse on keeping its GPS lock My LUBA 2 has a far better GPS Lock and its antenna is a little wire inside the body ---

What does your diagnostics screen look like? Specifically the Rover, Data Center, Status, and HaLow sections? You can omit the GNGGA GPS location information. ---

Your L2 satellites are extremely low yet you have an RTK status of 4. I suspect you may have a bad RTK antenna or it is loose. Try swapping left to right and right to left and see if the L2 satellites increase. [Next page](https://forum.yarbo.com/t/front-camera-is-foggy/4204.md?page=2)
