5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Dual Screen and Dual Lenses
The camera features two lenses for comprehensive monitoring. The O-Kam Pro app displays two screens:
- The fixed 3.6mm lens provides a static view, shown as the left/top screen in the app.
- The PTZ (Pan-Tilt-Zoom) 3.6mm lens allows for adjustable viewing, shown as the right/bottom screen in the app.
5.2 PTZ Remote Control
Control the camera's movement directly from the O-Kam Pro app to monitor different areas.
- Pan: Rotate horizontally up to 270 degrees.
- Tilt: Rotate vertically up to 90 degrees.
5.3 Auto Tracking
The camera can automatically track moving objects once a target is locked.
- When a moving object is detected, the camera will automatically adjust its pan rotation to follow the object.
- Alert notifications will be pushed to your smartphone.
5.4 AI Human Detection
The camera's AI capabilities allow it to specifically detect human shapes, reducing false alarms.
- Upon detecting a human target, the camera sends immediate notifications to your phone.
- This feature helps distinguish human activity from other movements, such as pets or swaying branches.
5.5 Night Vision Modes
The camera offers three night vision modes for clear surveillance in low-light conditions:
- Full-Color Mode: Provides color images even at night when sufficient ambient light is available or when white lights are activated.
- Infrared Mode: Standard black and white night vision using infrared LEDs.
- Double-Light Alert Mode: Infrared night vision is active when no motion is detected. Upon detecting motion, the white lights turn on, switching to full-color mode and acting as a deterrent.
