Notes:
1. WPS may not work if your AP is configured with a "hidden" SSID.

2. If any WPS-enabled AP is not detected, the camera will search APs for 60 seconds after

pressing the WPS button, and if the camera still can not detect an AP after 1 minute, the
wireless setup will be cancelled.

3. If a camera is assigned with a fixed IP outside the AP's network segment, wireless setup will

fail.
