Set each item of the [Wireless: Encryption settings] in accordance to the encryption method used.
WEP method
WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES), WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK
(AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES), or WPA/WPA2-mixedmode PSK method
[Encryption method]
Select the encryption method for the data to be transmitted. Encryption helps protect wireless
communications from being accessed or intercepted by unauthorized parties.
•
WEP method: 64bit/128bit:
Encryption is performed with 64 or 128 bit WEP method.
•
WPA-PSK (TKIP):
TKIP is used to perform encryption. Because TKIP updates the encryption key at
set intervals, it has stronger encryption than WEP.
•
WPA-PSK (AES):
AES is used to perform encryption. Because AES updates the encryption key at set
intervals, it has stronger encryption than WEP. Because WPA-PSK (AES) processes encryption at
hardware level, it is able to contain speed losses better than when compared to WPA-PSK (TKIP), but
it can only connect to devices that support it.
•
WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES):
WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA-PSK (AES) is automatically selected according to
the encryption method used by the wireless router.
•
WPA2-PSK (TKIP):
This method has stronger encryption than WEP and WPA.
•
WPA2-PSK (AES):
This method has stronger encryption than WEP and WPA. Because WPA2-PSK
(AES) processes encryption at hardware level, it is able to contain speed losses better than when
compared to WPA2-PSK (TKIP), but it can only connect to devices that support it.
•
WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES):
WPA2-PSK (TKIP) or WPA2-PSK (AES) is automatically selected according
to the encryption method used by the wireless router.
•
WPA/WPA2-mixedmode PSK:
A combination of WPA-PSK (TKIP) or WPA-PSK (AES), or
WPA2-PSK (TKIP) or WPA2-PSK (AES) is automatically selected according to the encryption method
used by the wireless router.
•
No encryption:
Data transmission between the wireless router and camera is not encrypted.
•
Default:
No encryption
[WEP key 1]
WEP key 1 can be entered when “WEP method: 64bit/128bit” is selected for the encryption method. If the
connected wireless router has key selection, select key number 1. There are 2 types of encryption keys:
64 bit and 128 bit. Generally speaking, because the longer a WEP key is the harder it is to decipher, longer
keys are considered to be safer.
Select the key length from the pull-down menu.
