12.8.2.3.1 Wi-Fi Access Point
When the camera is configured as a Wi-Fi Access Point (AP), the AP Settings
are revealed, allowing the user to customize the way the AP works. Typically,
AP mode would be used in an installation where the camera was not sending
files out via the Wi-Fi interface to an external network and Wi-Fi was only
used when connecting to the camera to change the configuration, to view the
live video, or download media to the connected device.
The camera has a built-in DHCP server that runs when the Wi-Fi is configured
in AP mode. It is responsible for supplying configuration information to clients
that connect to the camera access point. By default, the camera will be
accessible at
http://10.0.0.1
when connecting to the Wi-Fi Access Point.
There are seven Access Point settings for the Wi-Fi AP mode, the first four
should be configured for all installations, the last three only need to be changed
if there is a specific reason (see Table 12-18
Access Point Settings
).
