Maintenance

Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the monitor screen and camera lenses. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as they can damage the surfaces.
2. Camera Durability
The cameras are constructed with an aluminum alloy shell and boast an IP69 waterproof rating, making them resistant to extreme temperatures (-68°F to 167°F) and harsh weather conditions like heavy rain and snow. While durable, regular visual inspection for any physical damage is recommended.
