Important - If you're resetting your camera because you've been experiencing disconnections, live view interruptions, or any other issues related to connectivity - know that a quick fix is to connect the SAMi Camera to your Router via ethernet cable permanently. A hardwired connection will always be more stable and faster than wireless.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOU BEGIN THIS RESET, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANY VPN ENABLED ON YOUR PHONE TURNED OFF!

Hello - While I believe this to be the case, it would be nice to confirm / clarify in this article that the "app settings" such as motion threshold, alarm threshold, alarm sound, timeout delay, etc.. will NOT be reset when you reset the camera. I'm currently battling WIFI connection issues, moving around wifi points in my mesh network to see if it makes a difference or if I really have to go to a wired connection.
