Wireless Connection
With the Compro wireless adapter 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 adapter has been securely installed, 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.

Mount the Camera
If desired, you can mount the camera on a wall or ceiling. The following section explains how to mount your
camera.
1. Drill 2 mounting holes on the mounting surface. While you are at it, bear in mind that there will have to be
a minimum space of 2.5 mm (0.098 inch) between the screw head and the mounting surface. Also, the 2
mounting holes on the wall or ceiling should be spaced exactly 31 mm (1.22 inch) apart to correspond
to the position of screw holes on the camera's bracket base. Then, if you're mounting on a concrete wall,
insert a screw anchor into each of the mounting holes.
