camera's 5-digit serial number).
To use the web remote function via this URL, the device must support zero-configuration networking
(zeroconf), e.g. through Apple Bonjour. Without zeroconf, the web remote can be reached via the
network's IP address (WiFi or LAN IP). The WiFi IP is fixed to 192.168.153.1. The LAN IP can be
either assigned from a DHCP server or configured manually, and can be checked with an MVF-2 in
MENU > Info > Network Info

NOTICE
Frequent reloading of the web remote camera interface connected with WiFi indicates a limited WiFi
range. Please place the device closer to the camera or connect via Ethernet. You may also consider
to use the WiFi client mode which allows connecting the camera to a WiFi network.
