Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Seventour Dash Cam System, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the monitor screen and camera lenses. For stubborn smudges, a slightly damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can be used, but avoid excessive moisture.

- Environmental Protection: While cameras are IP69 waterproof, avoid direct high-pressure water jets on them during vehicle washing. Protect the monitor from extreme temperatures when the vehicle is parked for extended periods.
