Using as a Webcam
Checking Access Point Settings
Specifying Webcam Settings
This section describes how to use the camera as a webcam by connecting the camera with
a computer via a wireless LAN access point.
Checking Access Point Settings
The Wi-Fi base unit (such as a Wi-Fi router) to be used an access point should be compliant
with the Wi-Fi standards (
) shown in the specifications.
Network name (SSID/ ESSID)
The available access points are SSID or ESSID. These are also referred to as the
“Access Point Name” or “Network Name”.
Network authentication/data encryption (encryption scheme/encryption mode)
This scheme encrypts data during wireless communication. Check whether “WPA2-PSK
(AES)”, “WPA2-PSK (TKIP)”, or “None” exist.
Passwords (encryption key/network key)
These keys are used to encrypt data during wireless communication. These are also
referred to as “encryption keys” or “network keys”.
Caution
When specifying settings in a network with a system administrator, ask the network
administrator for network settings.
This information is extremely critical for security. Take care when handling such
information.
Note
Routers are devices used to construct networks (LAN) by connecting multiple
computers, etc. Also, routers with built-in Wi-Fi functions are known as “Wi-Fi
routers”.
In this manual, all Wi-Fi base units such as Wi-Fi routers are referred to as “access
points”.
If filtering MAC addresses with the access point you will join, add the camera's
MAC address to the access point. You can check the camera's MAC address by
referring to [
MAC address ] under [ Network Settings ] ( ).
