  SSID:  This is the name of the wireless network the camera is configured for. The field 
accepts up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The name must be exactly the same as that used

security methods: NoneWEPWPA_PSK/WPA2_PSK. 
WEP settings:

method used by your access point. Not all access points have this option, in which case they 
probably use “Open System”, which is sometimes known as SSID Authentication.   
- WEP Mode: The access point being used determines which key type is available. The 
following options are available:   
•ASCII - In this method the string must be exactly 5 characters for 64-bit WEP and 13 
characters for 128-bit WEP.   
•HEX - In this method the string must be exactly 10 hexadecimal (0-9, A-F) characters

- WPA Key: Key value of WPA. The camera uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for key 
management. The pre-shared key can be entered either as Manual hex, as 64 hexadecimal 
characters, or as a Passphrase, using 8 to 63 ASCII characters.
