Any\nsmudges, dust, spots of water and insects (spider, moths, and bugs) can clutter\nthe camera lens, and due to this your camera won\u2019t record clearly. The video\nand image quality will be affected merely making it unclear. Use compressed\nair, microfiber brush, lens cleaner to wipe the lenses and free it from any\nlayers of debris or dirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Provide Camera Housing&nbsp; <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rains and storms can also damage the cameras. Make sure to open the camera\u2019s housing and check for any water, condensation, and dirt. You can always opt for cameras with IP rating 66 that withstands impacts from dust and rain or go for water-proof outdoor cameras. You can further protect them with skins and covers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Protect from Fogging and\nClouding<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Cameras are sealed and air-tight, but they can start fogging\nup with the weather condition due to moisture and condensation. The problem may\nfade away, but in some cases,&nbsp; it covers\nthe camera and needs immediate clean-up. To avoid this hassle, you can place a\npacket of silica gel inside the housing case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Check for Corrosion <\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Corrosion can damage electronics as the water and electronic\ncircuits mix. This usually happens when it rains, and the electric current\nthrough the water promotes a crystallized form of corrosion. If you found any\npart of the cameras being corroded, replace it at once as it may cause the\nequipment to short out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Secure Cable Connection<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Loose or worn out cable connections are always the primary reason why your security cameras are not working. Always make sure to check all the cable connections. Cables that are worn should be replaced immediately. Look int00o them to make sure that all the cables are securely connected and receiving power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secure a comprehensive maintenance coverage that includes inspection, cleanings, and extended warranty coverage by professionals<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several service level agreements to maintain your home video surveillance system are available, and they may include loaner gear, emergency response, and instant availability of replacement parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Keep Your Manuals Safe<br>\n<\/strong>If you got the manual when your security system cameras were\ninstalled make sure to keep it safe.
