Converting a Wireless Camera between Wired and Wireless Modes

The wireless IP camera can operate in either of these modes:

•Wired mode—A category 5 or higher network cable is connected to the LAN port on the back of the camera and to a 10/100BaseT router or switch. In this mode, the IP camera communicates with the network through the cable.

•Wireless mode—The IP camera communicates with the network through a wireless connection.

To convert a wireless IP camera from wired mode to wireless mode, disconnect the network cable and the power adapter from the IP camera. Then, reconnect the power adapter.

To convert a wireless IP camera from wireless mode to wired mode, disconnect the power adapter from the IP camera. Next, connect a network cable to the LAN port on the back of the camera and to a 10/100BaseT router or switch. Then, reconnect the power adapter.
