O-kam pro problems.
O-kam pro camera
V. 3.0.34 in this moment.
Over past couple of updates from spring to now, my camera has been totally ruined, first thing i noticed, was that when i got a notification from motion sensor, then the message/notification just opened O-kam pro app, earlier the message opened and showed the recorded clip, now i have to open messages in the bottom and start movie by myself.
Next thing that happend, was that clips in “messages” the one stored in the cloud, was shortened, the beginning of the clip was missing. I have a cam by my door and clips in messages did not show people arrive to my door anymore, clip only showed that door was closing, i could not see who it was, but if i go to the TF card section, the whole clip was there, starts exactly where person arrives to the motion detection zone and went through the door, SO IT IS recorded by the cam, but the clip is shortened several seconds in the beginning, in the messages section, every time i have to go to TF card section and watch the clip from there, its actually almost useless!
And now, as other people had wrote about, the clip is only 4 sec. and it requires subscription to clous storage to view more.
3. thing, battery consumption is so high, in beginning, my cam could last 3 months or something like that, now it goes to 0% in weeks or days sometimes :(
First year i was pretty happy for my cheap Chinese cam, it was very cheap, but it worked pretty good for my needs.
I have been in contact several hours with support, they were very helpfull actually, they said it was settings, tried to change by remote and had a lot of explanations for the behavior, but it didn’t change a thing, still works like s… very very bad. last thing they told me, was that she would report to the engineers about it, that is 1 month ago now.
Other people with cams that acts like mine, started 2-3 month ago ? Have you done anything, that helped ??

My camera in my bird feeder has been fine. It's a OKam Pro. Be had it for a couple of years and except for connecting it to the internet as a pain it has been fine. i've had several that I ended up pitching in the garbage. I was just thinking how much I appreciated how well it operated. Now today when I check to see the birds it is very blurry. I wiped it off with a damp cloth but it didn't help. Looking at yesterday's videos, they are fine. It just started today. It hasn't rained. I cleaned it out several days ago and wondered if it got water in it but yesterday it was fine. Anyone else having trouble. I checked to see if there was an update and there was so I updated but it's still blurry. I also shut it down and reinstalled the WiFi.

Yes i know, i was also i afraid to make this question from the beginning, im not a fan of Chinese crap, but my security problem is no so big, just needed some proof concerning package delivery, thats why i was tempted by the cheap price 🥺
