Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly wipe the camera lens and solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Battery Care: While solar-powered, ensure the solar panel is clean and receives adequate sunlight to maintain battery charge. If the camera is stored for extended periods, fully charge it before storage and recharge every few months to prevent deep discharge.
