The wireless setup dialog appears showing the camera’s current wireless settings which are the defaults.


SSID (Network Name): Enter the SSID (name) of the access
point to which the camera will connect. Be sure to enter the SSID
exactly as it appears on your access point’s setup page.

Connection Type: Select Infrastructure if the camera will
connect to an access point/wireless broadband router. This is the
typical setting on most home/business networks.
–or—
Select Ad Hoc if you will connect directly from a PC with a
wireless network adapter (NIC). If using Ad Hoc mode, select a
channel to use (no channel selection is required for infrastructure
mode).

WEP (Encryption):
If you have enabled WEP encryption on
your network, you must configure your Wireless Observer to use
exactly the same WEP key and key length as your access point
or Ad Hoc peers. Otherwise, leave it turned off.

Network Settings

DHCP: Leave the camera set to DHCP if you want your access point to assign the camera’s network
settings automatically.

Static IP: Select Static IP to set the camera’s IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address manually.

Web Page Port: Leave this set at 80 for now.


Step 3. Click “Save Settings” to save your new settings to the camera. Click “OK” to close the settings window.

Step 4. Observe the status display on the side of the camera. If you’re using DHCP, the display will blink 000
while it’s requesting an IP address from your access point. If the display continues to blink --- the camera failed
to connect to your access point, please check that you have entered the exact SSID used by your access point.
If your network supports DHCP, the camera will acquire an address within a few seconds and the last three
digits will show on the display. If not, you’ll need to assign an address manually. If you assigned a static IP
address, the last three digits should show on the display.


After a few seconds your camera’s MAC address will show up in the list on the main window along with any
other cameras on the LAN.


Step 5. Select your camera from the list and you will see your camera’s IP address and other network settings
show up on the right side.


Note: Your camera’s MAC address can be
found on a sticker located on the bottom of
the camera.

The number looks like

000364017F3B.
