PRODUCT CARE

INTERNAL CONDENSATION ON LENS
The R4G is IP67 rated waterproof. The camera housing is water-resistant against rain and storm elements. The only way the 4G can get condensation in or behind the lens is if the antenna is not screwed in all the way, the DC plug is not installed or if there is dirt or debris on the seal.
Follow instructions to alleviate this issue if need be:

  • Pull the SD card out and let the camera sit for 3-4 days open, in an area where there is circulating air (fan or vent).
  • Or place in a sealed container with rice for 24 hours to draw out the moisture.
  • Clean the seal well with soap and water and tighten your antenna.
  • Place back out in the field.

IF THE CAMERA HAS ACCIDENTALLY BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER

  1. Do not open the camera right away.
  2. Dry the outer housing of the camera, preventing water from entering the inside of the camera and causing internal damage.
