Security Mode		If you clicked the Edit Security Settings button, choose the desired security
		mode for the IP camera:
		• Disabled—No security is used. Data is not encrypted before
		transmission and anyone using the correct SSID can connect to the
		camera through your network.
		• WEP—The 802.11b standard and a basic encryption method. The
		encryption system is not as strong as other methods, but it is supported
		by all clients.
		• WPA/WPA2 Personal—This method, sometimes called mixed mode,
		allows clients to use either WPA-PSK (with TKIP) or WPA2-PSK (with
		AES) encryption methods.
		• WPA/WPA2 Enterprise—Data transmissions are encrypted using
		either the WPA or WPA2 standard. Requires that RADIUS be
		configured on your network to provide the client authentication.
