Configuring Wi-Fi

Depending on your camera configuration, you can connect the camera to a wireless local area network (WLAN) using Wi-Fi, or let the camera provide Wi-Fi access to other devices.

You can connect the camera in two different ways:

  • Setting up the camera as a wireless access point. This method is primarily used with other devices, e.g., an iPhone or iPad.

  • Connecting the camera to a Wi-Fi network.

The Wi-Fi functionality is managed from the Settings menu. You can also enable/disable Wi-Fi on the swipe-down menu. For more information, see section Swipe-down menu.

Setting up a wireless access point

  1. Push the navigation pad to display the menu system.

  2. Select (Settings) and push the navigation pad. This displays the Settings menu.

  3. Use the navigation pad to select Connections > Wi-Fi.

  4. Select Share and push the navigation pad.

  5. (Optional step.) To display and change the parameters, select Share settings and push the navigation pad.

    • To change the SSID, select Network name (SSID) and push the navigation pad.

    • To change the WPA2 password, select Password and push the navigation pad.

    Note

    These parameters are set for your camera’s network. They will be used by the external device to connect that device to the network.

    • Toggle the switch to enable/disable the firewall for the network shared by the camera.

    Note

    To enable/disable the camera firewall, select Connections > Advanced > Global firewall.
