Now like the scree says. If you are using Internet Explorer you should use ActiveX Mode
But if you are using Chrome or Firefox you should use Server Push Mode. Here one thing should be noted that is if you want to use microphone and Speaker on the camera you need to use Internet Explorer ActiveX Mode. And also if you want to do recording you will have to do the same thing. But if you just want to control the camera the way it is. Then Chrome or Firefox will do just fine.
On the next page you click on “Device Management”.

Click on “Wireless LAN Settings”
click “SCAN”
After 10 second it should give you the list of the wireless access point around you.
Click on the one that you want to connect to and enter password and hit “Submit”
Now the camera will reboot. Make sure to disconnect the Ethernet cable and give it a minute or 2.
I always use CMD/Command Prompt and do a continues Ping to know if the camera is really connected.
For the people who don’t know how to do it. For windows, Go to START. Type CMD in the search bar. And click on cmd.exe
Then type “Ping -t (whatever the IP address is)”
ex: ping -t 192.168.5.45
You can setup the camera to send you Mail when a motion or should has been detected.
You can also set “FTP Service Settings” which will allow your camera to send picture to the FTP server
For the camera to send you pictures through email and to record in FTP you need to set “Alarm Service Settings”
I have set my motion to be 5. Make sure to check mark “Send Mail on Alarm” if you want to get email upon alarm.
Here is one thing that I was not aware of. There are PRESETS on the camera and by default its disabled. To enable them you will have to go to “PT Settings” and uncheck “Disable preset” and submit
What preset does is saves a certain location where the camera is monitoring. So instead of holding the right button to go right somewhere you can save that preset and select the preset number and go. And the camera will go there.
It comes handy in time.
Hope I covered everything. if you have any question feel free to contact me. 🙂
