The indicator light will typically show red during charging and turn blue or off when fully charged. Charging may take several hours.

- Insert an activated 4G Nano SIM card into the SIM card slot with the gold contacts facing down, following the orientation indicated on the camera.
- Insert a Micro SD card (Class 10 or higher, up to 128GB, not included) into the Micro SD card slot for local video storage.
- Gently push until both cards click into place.
3.3 Initial Power On and App Pairing
- Press and hold the power button for 3-5 seconds until the indicator light turns on.
- Download the dedicated mobile application (e.g., "OKAM PRO App" or similar, check packaging for QR code or name) from your smartphone's app store (iOS App Store or Google Play Store).
- Register an account and log in.
- Follow the in-app instructions to add your camera. This usually involves scanning a QR code on the camera or manually entering its device ID.
- If using Wi-Fi, select your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and enter the password when prompted by the app.
- Once successfully paired, the camera's indicator light will typically turn solid blue or green, and you will see the live feed in the app.
4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Live View
Open the mobile application and select your camera from the device list to access the live video feed. From the live view interface, you can typically:
- View real-time video.
- Take screenshots.
- Record video manually.
- Use two-way audio (if supported).
- Adjust video quality settings.
4.2 Recording and Playback
The camera supports continuous recording or event-triggered recording to the inserted Micro SD card. To view recorded footage, navigate to the "Playback" or "History" section within the mobile app. You can browse recordings by date and time, and download clips to your phone.
4.3 PIR Human Detection
The Passive Infrared (PIR) sensor detects heat signatures, allowing the camera to differentiate between human movement and other environmental factors, reducing false alarms. You can enable and configure PIR detection sensitivity and alert settings in the camera's settings within the mobile app. When human motion is detected, the camera can send push notifications to your phone and begin recording.
4.4 4G and Wi-Fi Connectivity
The camera automatically uses the 4G network via the inserted SIM card if Wi-Fi is unavailable or not configured. For Wi-Fi connectivity, ensure your router broadcasts a 2.4GHz signal. You can switch between 4G and Wi-Fi modes or configure Wi-Fi settings through the camera's device settings in the app.
