5. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Foxpark Solar Wireless Backup Camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly clean the solar panel surface to remove dirt, dust, or debris that may obstruct sunlight and reduce charging efficiency. Use a soft, damp cloth.
• Camera Lens Cleaning: Keep the camera lens clean for clear image quality. Gently wipe the lens with a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals.
• Battery Charging: While the solar panel provides continuous charging, if the camera is stored in a dark environment for an extended period, or during prolonged periods of low sunlight, it may require charging via the USB port.
• Waterproof Integrity: The camera is IP69K waterproof. However, avoid directing high-pressure water jets directly at the camera for extended periods, as this could potentially compromise seals over time.
