NOTE:
When the camera connects to a network automatically, click the [Refresh] button so that the camera will
show all available wireless networks. Double-click a network to connect to it.
Mode: shows camera Wi-Fi module mode ("Managed" or "Ad Hoc").
When the "Managed" mode is used, the wireless network has at least one access point,
which is connected to a wired network, and several wireless stations. Such a configuration is called
Basic Service Set, BSS. In this situation the camera is used as a wireless station (client).
When the "Ad Hoc" mode is used, each device or station can connect each other without
using an access point (AP). Ad Hoc mode is also known as peer-to-peer mode. It allows
establishing a small local network (5 hosts maximum) without using additional access points. This
mode is convenient when using an IP camera together with a laptop as generally laptop adapters
do not support an access point mode.
Authentication: allows you to select an authentication mode when connecting wireless
devices. The following modes are available: Open, Shared key, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK.
Encryption: allows you to select data encryption mode.
Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP): when this option is selected, an IP address
is automatically obtained from a DHCP server on your network.
Use the following IP address: select this option to configure IP address manually. You
need to type the following information:
 IP address: type a device IP address.
 Subnet mask: type a subnet mask.
 Default gateway: type a default gateway IP address.
