transmission and anyone using the correct SSID can connect to the
camera through your network.

•
encryption system is not as strong as other methods, but it is supported
by all clients.
WPA/WPA2 Personal—This method, sometimes called mixed mode,
•
allows clients to use either WPA-PSK (with TKIP) or WPA2-PSK (with
AES) encryption methods.
• WPA/WPA2 Enterprise—Data transmissions are encrypted using
either the WPA or WPA2 standard. Requires that RADIUS be
configured on your network to provide the client authentication.
These options appear if you choose WEP from the Security Mode drop-down list.
If you enter a WEP key in one of the Key fields, choose the number of the
field that contains the key to use.
For added security, you can periodically change the TX Key option to
designate a different WEP key.
