Cleaning the camera

The camera housing and lens require regular cleaning. You should clean the lens when system performance appears to deviate from its usual level, or when excessive contaminant buildup is seen on the lens. You should also ensure that the camera’s protective cover is also unobstructed and operating correctly.

CAUTION When cleaning this product:
  • Do NOT wipe the lens window with a dry cloth, or with abrasive materials such as paper or scrub brushes, as this could scratch the coating.
  • Do NOT use acid or ammonia based products.
  • Do NOT pressure wash.
Particular care should be taken when cleaning the lens window, as this has a protective anti-reflective coating which may be damaged by improper cleaning.
  1. Switch off the power to the unit.
  2. Clean the camera body with a clean, soft cotton cloth. You can moisten the cloth and use a mild detergent if required.
  3. Clean the camera lens.
    • Rinse the lens with fresh water to remove all dirt particles and salt deposits, and allow to dry naturally.
    • If any spots or smears remain, very gently wipe the lens window with a clean microfibre cloth or soft cotton cloth.
    • If necessary, use isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or a mild detergent to remove any remaining spots, marks, or salt deposits.
