Note :
1. WPA-/WPA2-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key) the camera uses a
pre-shared key (PSK) to initiate WPA security. The pre-shared key is entered on the
access point and on each device on the wireless network. The key can be entered
either as Manual hex, as 64 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) characters, or as a Passphrase,
using 8 to 63 ASCII characters. The access point keeps out unauthorized users by
requiring the key to communicate.
2. WEP (Wired Equivalent Protection) the original security standard used in wireless
networks that provides a minimal level of security that can deter minor trespasses.
The administrator can select the key length among 64 or 128 bit s. 64bits is the default
setting.
