Condensation forms when warm and cold air meet. The air that comes into to contact with the incubator is cooler so it forms the condensation you see. Not much that you can do. What does the incubator look like? (Shape wise)
It's fine. It's caused from the water in your incubator. Don't worry about it. High humidity is good for your eggs. Just not to high.
What is your incubator temperature? Is the incubator metal or styrofoam? I've used a styrofoam (Hova-Bator) for many years and have never experienced condensation.

The reason that condensation is forming is because the temperature on the out side the incubator is cooler than the air inside the incubator. You do not need to do anything other than reduce the water slightly or put the incubator some where warmer.
