To help keep bugs away from your Reolink security camera and improve insulation against dust and outdoor debris, certain camera models and compatible solar panels include a small adhesive insect-resistant foam seal in the package.
This foam is designed to create a tighter seal between the camera and its mounting bracket, preventing small insects from entering the housing and ensuring long-term performance and durability.
Installation Steps
Step 1: Remove the Release Liner
Peel off the protective film (release liner) from the adhesive side of the foam pad.
Step 2: Position and Attach to the Mounting Bracket
Match the cutouts on the foam pad with the holes on the bracket base. Press it firmly into place, ensuring full and even contact. The foam should sit flat and create a continuous seal when the camera is secured.
Note: The foam pad’s shape and size may differ slightly depending on your camera or solar panel model, but the installation process remains consistent across all compatible devices.
Why This Matters
Installing the foam seal adds an extra layer of bug protection and environmental insulation, helping to:
- Block insects and tiny pests from entering the camera
- Reduce dust and moisture build-up
- Extend the lifespan of your outdoor security setup
This simple step is one of the most effective answers to how to keep bugs away from security cameras, ensuring your Reolink device stays reliable in outdoor or insect-prone environments.
