The moisture absorber has an approximately 6-month life cycle, varying depending on the environment. WARNING: It is highly recommended that you install the moisture absorber when mounting the camera. The moisture absorber prevents moisture from being captured inside the camera's housing, which may cause image performance issues and damage the camera. 13.
