DSecurity

Although one of the benefits of a wireless-enabled device is that it allows others to freely connect for the wireless exchange of data anywhere within its range, the following may occur if security is not enabled:

•Data theft: Malicious third-parties may intercept wireless transmis- sions to steal user IDs, passwords, and other personal information.

•Unauthorized access: Unauthorized users may gain access to the net- work and alter data or perform other malicious actions. Note that due to the design of wireless networks, specialized attacks may allow unauthorized access even when security is enabled.

AWi-Fi Connection Type

•SSID: Choose the camera SSID (network
