How should I clean and maintain the Swing Optix® cameras?
-
Cleaning the Lenses:
- Use a microfiber cloth, like the ones used for cleaning glasses, to gently wipe the lenses. Avoid using abrasive materials that could scratch the lens.
- If needed, use a lens cleaning solution or a mixture of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol. Apply the solution to the cloth, not directly to the lens.
-
Cleaning the Camera Body:
- Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the camera body. If necessary, slightly dampen the cloth with water.
- Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the camera's surface.
-
Maintaining Connectivity:
- Regularly check the USB connections to ensure they are secure and free from dust or debris.
- Avoid using adapters, hubs, or extension cables, except for USB 3.0 Type-C to USB 3.0 Type-A adapters and active extension cables.
-
General Maintenance:
- Store the cameras in a dry, cool place when not in use to prevent moisture damage.
- Periodically check and adjust the focus, aperture, and zoom to ensure optimal clarity.
