●●In the application that opens, follow the on-screen instructions and configure the setting.

●● The following Windows settings are configured when you run the utility in step 2.

--Turn on media streaming.

This will enable the camera to see (find) the computer to access via Wi-Fi.

--Turn on network discovery.

This will enable the computer to see (find) the camera. --Turn on ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol).

This allows you to check the network connection status. --Enable Universal Plug & Play (UPnP).

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” (=196).

Connection methods vary depending on whether the access point supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS, =130) or not (=132). 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.
