5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your Voyager WVSXC160 camera.

Cleaning:

• Periodically clean the camera lens and housing with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the lens or housing.
• Ensure the lens is free from dirt, dust, snow, or ice to maintain clear image quality.

Inspection:

• Regularly check all cable connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion.
• Inspect the mounting bracket and hardware to ensure they remain secure.
• Verify the antenna is securely attached and undamaged.

The camera has an IP69K water resistance rating, indicating high protection against dust and high-pressure, high-temperature water jets. However, avoid directing high-pressure water directly at the lens or cable entry points for extended periods.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your WVSXC160 camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
