Wireless Connection
With the Compro wireless adaptor installed, you can also opt for using the wireless connection. Please keep in
mind that you can only have one active connection at a given time, either through LAN or wireless network.
If you connect the IP camera to the Intranet, then the same group of users can share the access of IP
camera. Please also ensure that the wireless adaptor has been securely fastened, or it could lead to unstable
connection.
If the wireless connection drops randomly or plainly seems slow, try bringing your IP camera in closer
proximity to the wireless AP/router and then see if the situation improves.
