Spots on NightVision Camera

My NightVision Camera from a 2016 has black “spots” on the lens.

I’ve tried to clean with via various methods and nothing comes off lens.

Is this normal or anyone else seen this?

Any suggestions for cleaning?

Should I be concerned?

Looks like road debris impacts.

If it is not causing an issue with the image I'd just let it ride, you don't want to know what the NV camera costs new anyway.

Actually, I know, lol. Just under $5k.

Luckily, they do sell the lens cover separate for ~$600 ish.

How good is the image when you use it? If it's working well, don't worry about it, if it's not, then check out the video below.
