This guide provides information on installing and setting up Honeywell's iPCAM-WI2 (white)
and iPCAM-WI2B (black) Cameras. This camera is ideal for monitoring your home, business
or public facilities. Some major features of this camera are:
Wired or Wireless communications to a router or access point. Wireless communications
utilizes the 802.11b/g protocol with WPS security. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a
standard for easy setup of a secure wireless network.
Color video can be monitored through your Total Connect remote services account. Up to
6 cameras can be used.
IMPORTANT: This camera is for indoor use only. DO NOT mount this camera within one [1]
foot of any wireless device.
To utilize this camera, you must have:
An AlarmNet account for a GSM or Internet communicator, or a “Video Services Only”
account.
Total Connect account. (If an account does not exist, the dealer should use the AlarmNet
Direct website to set up a Total Connect account for the customer.)
Internet access with a router capable of DHCP hosting. For wireless, the router must also
support one button WPS data encryption. If this is not available, order the Honeywell WAP
Wireless Access Point for connection to your router.

Layout Considerations:
Depending on layout and distances, one or more WAPs may be needed.
Each IP camera or ACU (Analog Converter Unit) will communicate through its
associated WAP.
Each WAP must be spaced 5 to 10 feet from other wireless devices.
Wireless distance may be reduced by thick walls, wire lath, and large metal objects.
In multiple camera installations, ensure the correct power transformer is used with
each camera.
Secure all wires with cable ties.
Refer to each camera or ACU’s installation guide for detailed information.
