About Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a function that allows settings for connecting wireless devices and settings
related to security to be easily configured.
In WPS, wireless LAN access points or wireless routers become the registrar (main device) and the wireless
camera seeking to join the wireless network becomes the enrollee (periphery device). SSID or WEP/WPA/
WPA2 encryption settings and other information can be sent.
There are several specific setting methods for WPS. The Push-button method (PBC) is used by pressing the
wireless connection button on each device. The PIN code method is used by entering the same 8 digit PIN
code into both the registrar (wireless router) and enrollee (wireless camera).
