Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the camera lens and body. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Firmware Updates: Regularly check the AOBOCAM app for available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
- Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. If storing the camera for an extended period, charge it to about 50% and store in a cool, dry place.
