WiFi camera connection (STA mode)
The camera is powered via micro USB cable.
•
In STA mode, the camera is supposed to connect to a router.
•
A WiFi router can usually provide 10 signals, which means 10 cameras can be connected to the router.
•
Assuming 4 WiFi routers are installed in a room, we ensure that 40 cameras can coexist in a room without
interference from WiFi signals.
1. Connect the micro USB side of the provided cable to the micro USB camera port ⑤.
2. Plug the USB side of the cable to a USB power adapter (not supplied).
3. Plug the power adapter to a wall outlet.
4. Press the AP/STA button ②. The operating LED ③ will light up in blue when STA mode is selected.
•
This means the camera is in STA mode and has connected to the router (See Chapter 10 on how to set the router's
name and password in the camera).
5. Make sure that your PC or your mobile device is connected to the router (by LAN or WiFi).
6. Start the Proview or Liteview software or Optika Mobile View App and check the configuration.
