IMPORTANT

If the wireless settings failed to be automatically set with WPS, check the wireless settings for the wireless router and camera in the following manner.

Checking wireless settings for the wireless router

If the wireless setting of the wireless router is set to a setting not supported by the camera, change the wireless setting of the wireless router.

Confirm that the WPS function is activated. It is recommended that you deactivate the wireless router's WPS function when not performing WPS settings.

If the ESS-ID stealth function (hidden SSID) is activated, temporarily deactivate it.

If MAC address filtering is activated, temporarily deactivate it.

Checking wireless settings for the camera

Confirm that “Allow” (default setting) is set for “External registration”.

It is recommended to select the “WPA2-PSK (AES)” or “WPA-PSK (AES)” enhanced encryption methods for the wireless router's encryption settings.

18.3 Using the camera's Wireless QoS [Basic]

Click the [Basic] tab on the “Wireless” page. (page 47, page 49)

Configure the wireless QoS (Quality of Service) in this section.

[Wireless QoS]

Wireless QoS is only available when using H.264 RTP transmission. When the wireless frequency band is temporarily reduced because of external interference, images may not be displayed. When this happens, Wireless QoS helps to reduce transmission delays and dropped frames by converting images into data that can be displayed and then transmitting the data.

Default: Use

Note

JPEG/audio transmissions and transmissions using HTTP are not applicable to Wireless QoS.

Wireless QoS is not effective against strong interference that can shut down wireless transmission.

To use H.264 RTP transmission, select “Off” for “Internet mode (over HTTP)” in “H.264(1)” or “H. 264(2)” on page 82. Use H.264 RTP transmission when H.264 transmission is used on the local LAN.
