How to Maintain and Clean CCTV Cameras for Long-Term Reliability

By GoLive January 10, 2026

Installing a CCTV system is only the first step. Regular maintenance and proper cleaning are essential to ensure clear footage, accurate monitoring, longer device life, and better ROI. In India’s dust-heavy, humid, and high-pollution environments, neglected cameras quickly lose performance. Whether you use Evota 4K PTZ Cameras, Logitech PTZ cameras, or smart surveillance integrated with digital boards and interactive panels, routine care directly impacts security and reliability. At GoLive eTechnologies India Private Limited, we not only supply premium CCTV and smart classroom solutions, but also guide customers on best practices for long-term performance.


Common Problems Caused by Poor CCTV Maintenance

Without regular care, CCTV systems face:

  • Blurry or foggy footage

  • Infrared night vision failure

  • PTZ motor malfunction

  • Overheating and power issues

  • Reduced zoom clarity in 4K PTZ cameras

  • Frequent repairs and replacement costs

 These issues are common across schools, coaching centres, offices, warehouses, and smart classrooms.

Step-by-Step Guide to Clean CCTV Cameras Safely

1. Power Off Before Cleaning (Critical Step)

Always switch off the camera and power supply before cleaning to avoid:

  • Short circuits

  • Sensor damage

  • PTZ calibration errors

2. Clean the Camera Lens (Most Important)

Use:

  • Microfiber cloth

  • Lens cleaning solution (alcohol-free)

  • Air blower for dust

Avoid: tissue paper, water spray, or harsh chemicals.

 This is especially important for Evota 4K Camera, Evota 10X HD PTZ Camera, and Logitech PTZ Pro 2, where lens clarity affects zoom precision.

3. Remove Dust from Camera Housing

Indian conditions cause dust buildup on:

  • Dome covers

  • Outdoor PTZ housing

  • Mounting brackets

Use:

  • Soft brush

  • Dry microfiber cloth

This improves heat dissipation and extends camera life.

4. Check Cables, Ports & Connectors

Loose or damaged cables can cause:

  • Signal loss

  • Flickering footage

  • Camera disconnection

Inspect:

  • HDMI / LAN cables

  • Power adapters

  • Mounting screws

5. Test PTZ Movement & Zoom

For Evota PTZ Camera Price-sensitive buyers, preventive maintenance avoids costly motor replacements.

Check:

  • Smooth pan, tilt, zoom

  • Preset accuracy

  • No jerky movements
