How to Stop the OKIOCAM From Lagging / Image Delay?

Have you been experiencing image delays with your OKIOCAM? If so, this article explains the various issues that can cause lagging, and the recommended steps to take which can resolve them.

If the video latency is occurring on your own preview window

It is usually caused by a low FPS (frame per second) rate. To fix this issue, take the following steps:

1. Lower the video resolution.
2. Ensure the room is bright enough.

We also recommend that you try the troubleshooting steps in this article, as issues with your computer’s hardware can also cause video latency.

If the video latency is occurring on the receiver's side

If you are using your OKIOCAM online and your meeting participants are seeing delayed images, it's usually caused by insufficient bandwidth, and/or a bad internet connection on the receiver's side. In this case, a reduction in bandwidth, CPU, or memory usage on either your end, the receiver’s end, or both is necessary.

For the host (your end):

1. Ensure your internet connection is on, sufficient, and stable.
2. Lower your video resolution quality(if applicable).
3. Access the camera using our software Snapshot and Recorder, then "Screenshare" Snapshot and Recorder to your participants. This will grant you the flexibility to switch between various resolutions and lower the bandwidth usage.

For the receiver (your meeting participant):

1. Ensure the internet connection is on, sufficient, and stable.
2. Lower the receiving video quality (if applicable).
3. Terminate any programs/software that are unnecessary but running in the background.
4. Mute and turn off the camera when not in use.
