Access Point Encryption
This camera supports the following options for [Authentication] and
[Encryption settings]. Therefore, when connecting via an access
point, the encryption used by the access point must be one of the
following.
[Authentication]: Open system, Shared key, or WPA/WPA2-PSK

[Encryption settings]: WEP, TKIP, or AES

If stealth functions of the access point are active, connection may

be disabled. Deactivate stealth functions.
When connecting to a network that has a network administrator, ask the

administrator about the detailed setting procedures.
If the network you use filters by MAC address, register the MAC address of
the camera at the access point. The MAC address can be checked on the
[General sett.] screen (p.88).
