  Maintaining the video capture card is an important measure to ensure its stable operation and extend its service life. Here are some specific maintenance methods:
  1. Precautions for daily use
  Read the manual carefully:
  Before using the video capture card, be sure to read the product manual carefully to understand the detailed steps and precautions for installation, use and maintenance.
  Correct installation:
  According to the instructions in the manual, install the video capture card correctly to ensure that all interfaces are firmly connected without looseness or poor contact. During the installation process, avoid tightening the screws too much to avoid damaging the circuit board or slot.
  Avoid collision:
  When using the video capture card, avoid collision with objects and keep a safe distance to prevent damage to the equipment.
  2. Regular cleaning and maintenance
  Regular dust removal:
  The video capture card and the computer where it is located should be dusted regularly to keep the equipment clean and heat dissipation effect. You can use a pressure tank or a soft brush to blow or brush away the dust. Be careful to release body static electricity or wear an anti-static bracelet before cleaning.
  When storing, it is best to put it in an anti-static bag and a foam bag to prevent squeezing and water immersion.
  Check the interface: Regularly check whether the interface of the video capture card is oxidized, rusted or damaged. If necessary, clean or replace it in time.
  3. Environmental management
  Temperature and humidity: Avoid using the video capture card at too high or too low temperatures to maintain a suitable working environment temperature. At the same time, maintain a suitable humidity to prevent the equipment from getting wet.
  Avoid static electricity: Before using the video capture card, make sure you are grounded. It is best to use an anti-static wristband or grounding mat. Also avoid using the video capture card in a dry environment to reduce the impact of static electricity on the device.
  4. Software and driver management
  Update the driver: Regularly check and update the driver and software version of the video capture card to ensure that the device operates normally and is compatible with the latest operating system and applications.
  Avoid unnecessary upgrades: If the video capture card is working properly, it is best not to upgrade the BIOS or other firmware versions at will. Because different versions of BIOS or firmware may have different adaptability to the computer's motherboard, power supply and other components, inappropriate upgrades may cause compatibility issues or performance degradation.
  5. Storage and Preservation
  Proper storage:
  When the video capture card is not used for a long time, it is best to remove it from the computer and store it properly. It can be placed in a dustproof bag and placed in a dustproof, dry, and non-magnetic environment.
  Avoid water immersion and moisture:
  Keep the video capture card away from water and humid environments to prevent the device from being damaged by moisture.
