# Wireless LAN settings

This section describes the settings to connect the camera to mobile devices (iPad/iPhone), computers, or wireless access point via wireless LAN.

## [DIRECT] mode

Use the following procedures when accessing to the network function of the camera directly from a smartphone, tablet, or computer.

The camera may restart as necessary when the setting is changed.

Select [DIRECT] in [MENU] → [PERIPHERAL] → [WIRELESS PROPERTY] → [TYPE].

Set each item in [MENU] → [PERIPHERAL] → [WIRELESS PROPERTY] as necessary.

[MAC ADDRESS]:MAC address of wireless LAN (cannot be changed)

[SSID]: Network name of the camera (SSID) ([AU-VREC1])

[BAND]: Setting for switching between two transmission methods (2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) (Factory setting: [2.4GHz]) (for AJ-WM30: [2.4GHz], for AJ-WM50: [2.4GHz] or [5GHz])

[CHANNEL(2.4GHz)]: Channel used when set to 2.4 GHz (Factory setting: [AUTO])

[CHANNEL(5GHz)]: Channel used when set to 5 GHz (Factory setting: [AUTO])

[ENCRYPTION]: Encryption to be used (Factory setting: [WPA2-AES]) (cannot be set)

[ENCRYPT KEY]:WPA2 encryption key (Factory setting: [01234567890123456789abcdef])

[DHCP]: Setting whether to use automatic acquisition via DHCP ([ENABLE]: Use automatic acquisition/[DISABLE]: Does not use automatic acquisition) (Factory setting: [ENABLE]) (cannot be set)

[IP ADDRESS]:IP address of the camera (Factory setting: [192.168.0.1]).

[SUBNET MASK]: Subnet mask (Factory setting: [255.255.255.0])

[DEFAULT GATEWAY]: Default gateway (Factory setting: [192.168.0.254]) (cannot be set)

[PRIMARY DNS]: Primary DNS server setting (Factory setting: [0.0.0.0]) (cannot be set)

[SECONDARY DNS]: Secondary DNS server setting (Factory setting: [0.0.0.0]) (cannot be set)

[DHCP SERVER]: Setting whether to use DHCP SERVER function ([ENABLE]: Use DHCP SERVER function/[DISABLE]: Does not use DHCP SERVER function) (Factory setting: [ENABLE])

From [MENU] → [PERIPHERAL] → [NETWORK SEL], select [WLAN].

The changed setting will be valid after rebooting the camera.

Select SSID from the list of the access points for mobile devices or computers and enter the password (encryption key).

Display the access point list screen in wireless setting and select [SSID] of the camera.

- Factory setting: [AU-VREC1]

When the password confirmation screen appears, enter the password (encryption key).

- Factory setting: [01234567890123456789abcdef]

Check the network connection.

When the setting is completed, confirm that network connection of mobile devices (iPad/iPhone) or computers is made properly.

The application using the network can be used when it is correctly connected to the network.

NOTE

- AJ-WM30 can only operate when the communication method is 2.4 GHz. It will operate after automatically setting to CH1 of 2.4 GHz when [BAND] is set to [5GHz].

- The startup time after turning on the power may be longer due to starting of the network.

- When you change the settings of [NETWORK SEL], the changes will not be reflected until the camera is restarted. After the settings have been changed, the setting screen termination may take time due to the restart of the network service.

- All of the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway must be correctly set.

  Contact the network administrator if the [CANNOT ACCESS GATEWAY!] warning is displayed when closing the setting screen.

- If you do not use default gateway and DNS, set them to [0.0.0.0].

- DHCP and DNS may not function properly depending on the network environment.

## [INFRA] mode (when SSID is manually entered)

This is the setting to manually connect to the wireless access point.

[SECONDARY DNS]: Secondary DNS server setting (Factory setting: [0.0.0.0]) (When [DHCP] is set to [ENABLE] and the value can be acquired from the DNS server, the DNS server value which is acquired externally is overwritten. When the value is [0.0.0.0], the server is not set.)

Select [WLAN] in [MENU] → [PERIPHERAL] → [NETWORK SEL].

If the setting is changed, the camera will restart as necessary.

Enter the information of the destination wireless access point in [MENU] → [PERIPHERAL] → [WIRELESS PROPERTY].

Select [MANUAL] in [SSID INPUT MODE].

#### SSID connection destination list screen

1. Selection status

   A checkmark [✓] is displayed on the currently selected SSID. (This does not show the connection status).

2. SSID

   Detected SSIDs and SSIDs registered in the connection history is displayed in a list. SSIDs are displayed in order from the one with the strongest signal.

3. Connection history status

   [H] is displayed in the SSID that has a past connection history. SSIDs with past connection histories are displayed even if the camera is outside the service area.

4. Encryption format

   This is the encryption method used by the access point.

5. Radio wave strength

   This shows the signal strength of the access point.
