Underwater Camera Quick Care Guide

Read Before First Use

Your underwater camera operates in a harsh, chlorinated environment. A few simple habits will dramatically extend its life and reliability.


Daily Use Essentials

  • Rinse camera and cable with fresh water after every practice

  • Fully air dry before storage

  • Never pull the camera out of the pool by the cable

  • Do not allow swimmers to push off of or hang on the camera


RJ45 Connector Care

Your system uses an exposed RJ45 Ethernet connector, which is the most sensitive part of the system.

  • Always keep the RJ45 connector off the pool deck

  • Use protective caps whenever the connector is not connected

  • Plug connectors in only when completely dry

  • Avoid unnecessary plugging and unplugging


Dielectric Grease Required

We strongly recommend dielectric grease for all RJ45 connections.

Apply a light coating to:

  • The RJ45 plug on the camera cable

  • The RJ45 port on the network switch or PoE injector

Important:

  • Use a very small amount

  • Never apply to wet connectors

  • Do not pack grease into the connector

This helps prevent corrosion and connection failures.


Storage Guidelines

  • Store equipment dry and capped

  • Use loose cable loops

  • Keep equipment away from chlorine and chemical rooms


Stop and Contact Support If You See

  • Corrosion or discoloration on connector pins

  • Intermittent or lost video signal

  • Visible damage to the cable or connector

Continuing to use damaged equipment can cause permanent failure.


Pro Tip for Coaches

Underwater cameras are performance equipment.
Two minutes of care after practice can add years of reliable use.
Educate your athletes the importance of maintenance and care of performance equipment.
