5. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your SANSCO S52-4G-3MP camera, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Solar Panel Cleaning: Regularly clean the surface of the solar panel to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may obstruct sunlight absorption. Use a soft, damp cloth.
• Lens Cleaning: Gently wipe the camera lens with a microfiber cloth to ensure clear image quality. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the lens.
• Weatherproofing: Periodically inspect the rubber stoppers covering the charging port and card slots to ensure they are securely sealed. The IP65 rating provides protection against dust and water, but proper sealing is crucial.
