Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan and performance of your camera:

• Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly wipe the solar panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt, dust, or debris, ensuring maximum charging efficiency.
• Battery Health: While solar-powered, avoid prolonged periods of complete discharge. If storing the camera for an extended time, ensure the battery is partially charged.
• SD Card Management: Periodically review and delete old recordings to free up space. Consider backing up important footage to another device.
• Physical Inspection: Periodically check for any damage to the camera casing, cables, or mounting hardware. Ensure the IP66 seals are intact to maintain water resistance.
• Lens Cleaning: Gently clean the camera lens with a microfiber cloth to prevent smudges or dirt from affecting image clarity.

Troubleshooting
