Wireless Settings
These settings control how the wireless camera interacts with the wireless network. Apart from
identifying the wireless network, it is also possible to enable wireless encryption.
SSID - This is the name of the wireless network the camera is configured for. The field accepts up to
32 alphanumeric characters. The name must be exactly the same as that used in the wireless access
point, or the connection will not be established.
Leaving this field blank means the camera will attempt to access the nearest unsecured network.
Note: SSID is sometimes shown as ESSID.
Security - The camera supports two security methods:
• WPA-PSK (recommended method)
• WEP
WPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key)
In this method the camera uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for key management. The pre-shared key
can be entered either as Manual hex - using 64 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) characters, or as a
Passphrase - using 8 to 63 ASCII characters.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Protection)
Authentication - Select Open or Shared Key,
depending on the method used by your access
point. Not all access points have this option, in
which case they probably use Open, which is
sometimes known as SSID Authentication.
Key length - This sets the length of the key
used for the wireless encryption, 64 or 128-bit.
The encryption key length can sometimes be
shown as 40/64 and 104/128.
Active Transmit Key - This selects which of the
4 keys the camera uses when transmitting.
