Wi-Fi Functions

For information on WPS compatibility and for instructions on
checking settings, refer to the access point user manual.

A router is a device that creates a network (LAN) structure for
connecting multiple computers. A router that contains an internal
Wi-Fi function is called a “Wi-Fi router”.

This guide refers to all Wi-Fi routers and base stations as “access
points”.

If you use MAC address filtering on your Wi-Fi network, be sure
to add the camera’s MAC address to your access point. You can
check your camera’s MAC address by choosing MENU (= 31)
► [ 4] tab ► [Wi-Fi Settings] ► [Check MAC Address].

Using WPS-Compatible Access Points

WPS makes it easy to complete settings when connecting devices over

Wi-Fi. You can use either Push Button Configuration Method or PIN

Method for settings on a WPS supported device.

Saving Images to a Connected Computer

Connect to your access point via Wi-Fi as follows.

Also refer to the access point user manual.

Confirming Access Point Compatibility

Confirm that the Wi-Fi router or base station conforms to the Wi-Fi

standards in “Wi-Fi” (= 211).

Connection methods vary depending on whether the access point

supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS, = 142) or not (= 144). For

non-WPS access points, check the following information.

Network name (SSID/ESSID)

The SSID or ESSID for the access point you use. Also called the

“access point name” or “network name”.

Network authentication / data encryption (encryption method /

encryption mode)

The method for encrypting data during wireless transmission. Check

which security setting is used: WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK

(TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WEP (open system

authentication), or no security.

Password (encryption key / network key)

The key used when encrypting data during wireless transmission. Also

called the “encryption key” or “network key”.

Key index (transmit key)

The key set when WEP is used for network authentication / data

encryption. Use “1” as the setting.

If system administrator status is needed to adjust network
settings, contact the system administrator for details.

These settings are very important for network security. Exercise
adequate caution when changing these settings.
