WPS
Wireless Connection #1: Using the WPS Button
1. Make sure your AP (Access Point) and Operating System support WPS (Wi-Fi
Protected Setup) functions. WPS enables easy setup with compatible APs.
2. Use the included hex wrench to open the bottom cover.
3. Use the hex wrench to press the WPS button for 1 second.
The camera LED should flash green. When WPS configuration is done, wireless
connectivity will be established and the security encryption, such as WEP or WPA-
PSK, will be synchronized with the AP. Use the IW2 utility to find the camera. As for IP
setting, the camera's use of DHCP or static IP is determined by your configuration on the
network camera via the web-based configuration of firmware. The camera's default is
DHCP.
