Logging into a Camera, Group | Veo 802.11b manual

Group

Click the Group button to set up a camera group to easily log in. Once you define a group of up to four cameras, you can log in to the whole group with one click.

1.Select up to four cameras from the list on the left.

2.Click Select to add the cameras to the group.

3.Enter a Group Name in the text box at the top.

4.To remove a camera from the group, select it from the list on the right and click Delete.

5.Click OK to save the group and exit or Cancel to exit without saving.

	Note: You can only log in to a group of cameras while in the multi-camera window. See the Multi-
	Camera Viewing section for more information.
Modify	Used to change the settings of a camera already added to the list.
Delete	Removes a camera from the Camera Manager list.
OK	Save changes and exit.
Cancel	Close Camera Manager without saving changes.

6.2 Logging into a Camera

Step 1. Click the down arrow to display the camera list.

The connection status dialog box appears as shown below.

Step 2. Click on a camera from the list to log in to it and begin viewing.

Note: If the status shows “No Response from Camera,” the camera is either offline or you may have entered an incorrect URL or port number. Please check that the camera’s IP address or domain name and port number match the information you entered. Refer to the Troubleshooting section in Appendix G for help diagnosing connection problems.

As soon as the login process is complete the camera will begin to stream live video and all the camera controls become active. Depending on the speed of your connection to the camera and the image streaming size, you may experience varying amounts of delay before the image appears.

802.11b specifications

The Veo 802.11b is a notable wireless networking standard that emerged in the late 1990s as one of the first widely adopted protocols for local area networks (LANs). Operating in the 2.4 GHz frequency band, 802.11b provided users with the ability to connect to the internet and share resources without the constraints of wired connections.

One of the primary features of 802.11b is its maximum data transfer rate of 11 Mbps, which was impressive at the time of its release. This speed allowed for basic internet usage, file sharing, and general network connectivity. While this might seem slow by today’s standards, it laid the foundation for the rapid evolution of wireless technologies.

Veo 802.11b utilized Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology, which enhanced the reliability of the connection by spreading the signal over a wider frequency range. This technique helped to reduce interference, particularly in environments with multiple wireless devices operating on the same frequency. The standard also included mechanisms for ensuring data integrity, such as the use of cyclic redundancy check (CRC) algorithms.

In terms of range, Veo 802.11b offered coverage of approximately 100 to 300 feet indoors, and up to 1000 feet outdoors depending on environmental factors. This range made it suitable for home networks and small office environments, allowing users to access the internet from different locations within a building without the need for cumbersome cabling.

Another characteristic of the 802.11b standard was its compatibility with the earlier 802.11 standard, ensuring that devices using both protocols could operate together. This backward compatibility facilitated a smoother transition for users upgrading their systems, as they could maintain connectivity with older devices while enjoying the benefits of faster wireless networking.

Security was also an important aspect, though initially limited. The standard employed Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) for data encryption, which provided a basic level of security to protect wireless communications. However, as vulnerabilities were discovered in WEP, the need for stronger security protocols became evident, leading to further developments in later standards.

Ultimately, the Veo 802.11b played a pivotal role in revolutionizing wireless communications. It established the groundwork for further advancements such as 802.11g and 802.11n, which provided higher speeds and greater efficiency. While newer standards have since eclipsed its capabilities, 802.11b remains a significant milestone in the evolution of wireless networking technology. Its influence can still be seen in the pervasive use of wireless networks in homes, offices, and public spaces around the world today.
