What should I do if my dummy camera gets wet or damp?

If the dummy camera gets wet or damp, remove it from service straight away and let it dry fully before you decide whether it can be used again. The supplied product information says these dummy cameras are for indoor and outdoor use, but it also shows they are not serviceable inside and should not be opened, so water damage must be treated cautiously. fileciteturn0file0turn0file1

Follow these checks

1. Switch to a safe, dry inspection point. The expected result is that you can see whether the outside is only damp or whether moisture has entered the housing. If the unit is still wet, do not use it.
2. Dry the exterior only with a soft cloth and leave the camera in a dry place. The expected result is that all visible moisture disappears before refitting. Do not use heat, open the housing or shake the unit. fileciteturn0file1turn0file0
3. Check the wall, bracket and cable-free mounting area for signs of repeated water exposure. The expected result is a safer installation point that is less likely to collect rain or condensation. If the fitting area remains exposed to leaks or standing damp, stop using the product there.
4. When the camera is dry, inspect for cracks, discolouration or battery issues on 10.016.07. The expected result is that the unit still appears intact and, if fitted, the AA batteries are dry and working. If there is any sign of internal moisture, stop using the product. fileciteturn0file0turn0file1

If the camera remains damp, the finish is damaged or safe use is uncertain, stop using it and contact the retailer or store where it was purchased. fileciteturn0file1turn0file0
