Is it really bad to clean the lens of a dash cam with isopropyl alcohol? I just wiped the lens of my DVR-207 with a blue shop towel and 70% isopropyl alcohol, and now I'm scared I could have damaged the lens because I read online to never ever use alcohol on a camera lens. (I can't test the video quality yet because I'm waiting for my SD card to arrive in the mail) Edit: SD card arrived, video quality seems average, compares to what others have uploaded on this forum.
However, I found this video on youtube where this person actually recommends cleaning the DR400 lens with rubbing alcohol with good results.
I believe the DVR has a glass lens, but are there any finishes/coatings/films on the lens that isopropyl alcohol will damage, for example, a UV protection coating?
edit: sorry, pasted the wrong youtube video. It's fixed now
