6. Troubleshooting
- Camera Not Connecting to WiFi: Ensure your WiFi router is within range and broadcasting a strong signal. Verify that you have selected the correct 2.4GHz or 5GHz network during setup. Restart both the camera and your router.
- Frequent False Alarms: Adjust the AI motion detection sensitivity settings in the O-KAM Pro app. Define specific detection zones to monitor only critical areas and reduce triggers from irrelevant movements.
- Poor Video Quality: Check your internet connection speed. Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from obstructions. For optimal 2K QHD resolution, a stable and fast network connection is recommended.

- SD Card Not Detected: Ensure the Micro SD card is correctly inserted. Format the SD card through the app if it's a new card or if issues persist. Check if the card is damaged or incompatible.
- Delayed Notifications: Check your phone's notification settings for the O-KAM Pro app to ensure they are enabled. Verify your internet connection for any latency issues.
