• Storage: Store the system in a cool, dry place when not in use. Detach the monitor for security and to prevent prolonged exposure to extreme weather.
• Weather Protection: While the camera is IP68 rated weatherproof, it is recommended to protect the monitor from heavy rain or prolonged exposure to moisture.

7. Troubleshooting

• No Image on Monitor:
  • Ensure the camera cable is securely connected to the monitor.
