Just bought the cameras and I’m setting them.
I setup the motion detector as HUMAN DETECTION, then turned on the Person tracking. The device acknowledge a motion but does not track. I had tried the detection sensitivit to medium and high with the same results.
Manually I can move the camera up/down and to both sides.
Memory card no installed yet.
Please advise how to solve this problem.
Just purchased a O-KAM Pro (version 2.2.5).
Have setup a recording schedule, but the camera will still randomly record outside of the schedule to the TF card. How do I stop this from occurring?
I have disabled Cloud video recording yet videos are saved to Cloud Playback. How to I disable this function?
When recordng via the Detection Schedule time period, the recordings are only for a few seconds each. How to I setup for continuous recording as long as there is motion.
Please help, the TF card recording mode option has disappeared. Not in the selection option. I can’t stop video recordings,
Goodmorning, i have set up a O-KAM pro camera, and works perfect in my mobile, how i cam see from my laptop ? thank you
where do i put the sd card. i have an O-kam pro. indoor camera
Please disregard my previous comment. I have found out how to do it.
In passing: this comment section needs a way to separate new comments from replies to existing posts or it will become difficult to know if a post is replying to a previous post or not.
I think you might need to say what the name and make of the camera is.
Hi. I need a little help.
I can see how to download a recording on my TF card to my iPad. I can then see the recording in “my Album” within the O-KAM app but I can NOT see it as a transferable file within the file system of the iPad or on iTunes.
Can anyone tell me how to copy or share an O-CAM recording footage as a video that can be downloaded as a normal file. i.e. be viewed in another app or converted to a file that can be sent by email etc. without having to take the card out of the camera.
If I am unable to do that then my video footage cannot be used as evidence of wrong doing.
P.S. I discovered how to do the above by trial and error. Surely the manual should be more helpful in this regard.
I just bought a security camera and it asks for Bluetooth and tells me wifi is not compatible and it it.
