Car Camera Maintenance Guide
Taking care of electrical equipment is harder and trickier than taking care of non-electrical stuff (i.e. furniture). To keep your car camera well-protected, you need to maintain it properly.
For a car camera or dashcam to work properly, first you need to know how to use them. People often tend to forget that their car camera does not come with unlimited storage. If you don’t clear the memory card on a regular basis, your camera won’t be able to properly record anything. There are several ways to keep the memory card clear. You can either format the entire thing if you feel like the recordings are unnecessary or you can move them to cloud storage. Before every drive, make sure you check the camera to see if it’s working properly and monitor the available storage.
Your memory card capacity will tell you how often you need to clean it. A 4GB SD card can record 720p videos for an hour and 1080p for ½ an hour. So consider that before selecting a memory card.
As for the cleaning part, many car cameras are weatherproof but that doesn’t mean you can avoid your responsibilities of taking care of the thing. Try to keep a cleaning cloth dedicated to your camera in the car. Wipe over the camera once a day with the cloth to keep the dust to a minimum. For thorough cleaning, take the camera off once a month. Follow the user’s manual to find out which products are appropriate to clean your specified camera, especially the lenses since you need to keep it as clean as possible.
If you find it too hard and tricky to manage the cleaning process, ask a professional for help and take your camera for servicing. There’s no need to take a risk since a mishap can cause serious damage to the camera.
Bottom Line
Hopefully, the list succeeded in providing you with the information you needed for choosing a car camera. One of these might make its way into your shopping and eventually, your car.
