If you have enabled the Guest network feature of the Apple Airport,
please remember not to use it for the camera or for any computer or
smartphone that is supposed to be able to view the camera. The
entire purpose of a guest network is to allow only straight access to
the internet without allowing access to any of your own network
devices. Therefore if the guest network is working properly, it should
deny access to the camera.
2.
Typically we recommend setting
“Wireless Security
” to
“WPA2
Personal
”. On the camera, this corresponds to Security Mode:
“WPA2-PSK
” with the Encryption Type:
“AES
”
Very old Apple Airports (without the 802.11n option) need WPA
security which is only available if you select the mixed mode
“
WPA/WPA2 Personal
”, and in this case the camera needs to be set
up with “
WPA-PSK
” with encryption type: “
TKIP
”, not
“AES”
.
3.
When using the recommended
WPA+TKIP
or
WPA2+AES
security,
make sure your wireless password is between 8 and 63 characters and
does not contain punctuation such as apostrophes ` ‘ “ or brackets, or
any non-English characters. For best compatibility with all wireless
devices we recommend to use only upper case and lower case letters
and numbers and no other characters. Please note that this key
(password) is case sensitive. The older WEP wireless security is not
recommended for using Sharx cameras with Apple Airport.

If you have set up your network with extra tight security using the
“Access Control” feature in the Airport Utility, then you will need to
add the camera’s MAC address to the list of devices that are allowed
to access the network. Be careful about typos.
5.
If you have set up your wireless network as “Closed” with a hidden
name, it is highly recommended to temporarily set your network into
a normal configuration with a visible network name. Otherwise your
camera will not be able to see your network as one of the available
choices to connect to. After setup is complete, you can hide your
network name again. In general, a hidden network name adds more
confusion than actual security. There are tools that can reveal hidden
names easily, so a hidden network is not an effective security method.
After you’ve checked the above settings, proceed to the section titled Wifi
Wireless Setup.
