Configure the wireless connection
For a wireless camera, the wireless settings should be configured while the camera is connected via
the network cable. After the settings have been made, the cable can be disconnected. Configuring
the camera via an unsecured wireless connection is not recommended, as passphrases and keys will
be sent in plain text.
The wireless camera automatically senses the available network connections, and only allows one
of these to be active at any one time. Connecting a network cable disables the wireless connection.
To configure the wireless settings - in your account at your operator’s web portal, click on Settings.
Then select the camera name, and click on Wireless Settings.
Wireless network list
This list is the result of a network scan. Access points with a disabled SSID Broadcast will not
appear unless the camera is associated with it. A network using unsupported security is shown in
grey.
The list provides the following information:
• SSID - The name of a wireless network (or ad-hoc device). If the same name occurs several
times this means that several access points for that network were found, in which case
the camera cannot be configured to only associate with one particular access point.
• Mode - Indicates if the network node is an access point (Master) or an Ad-Hoc device.
• Security - Shows which type of security the network uses. See below for the supported
security types.
• Channel - Shows the wireless channel currently in use.
• Signal strength - Shows the signal strength.
• Bit rate - Shows the bit rate in Mbit/s. This can only be shown for the access point
currently in use. Note that the bit rate shown is the current rate, and that this value may
vary over time.
To update the list, click the button Rescan.
