6. Maintenance

Always ensure correct battery polarity during installation. Low battery power can affect night shooting quality. Replace batteries when the indicator shows low power. For continuous power, a 6V 1.5A DC adapter (buyer supplied) can be used.
6.2 SD Card Management
Format the SD card before its first use and periodically to maintain optimal performance. Avoid using high-speed SD cards as they may cause functionality issues; standard SD cards are recommended.
6.3 Cleaning and Protection
Regularly clean the camera lenses and motion sensors, ensuring any protective films are removed before use. The IP66 waterproof rating protects the camera from rain and dust, but avoid submerging it in water.

- Battery Drain: Use high-quality alkaline batteries. Consider using a 6V 1.5A DC adapter for continuous power.
