DCS-G900 User's Manual DCS-G900 Configuration Advanced > Wireless (continued) Transmission Rate: This can be selected to restrict bandwidth usage of the DCS-G900 in a high traffic network so that the camera does not consume all the bandwidth. If too much bandwidth is being used in a network that cannot support it, excessive lag during video transmission may occur. Lowering the transmission rate will sometimes help. Encryption Disable: WEP Encryption: Select this option to disable encryption on the DCS-G900. Wired Equivalent Privacy Encryption. WPA-PSK: Length: Format: Keys 1-4: Encrypt Data Transmission Using: Choose between 64 bits or 128 bits. Choose between ASCII or HEX. There are 4 key fields that you are able to input the security keys. This is in case you have more than 1 network that you can connect to. Instead of having to put in the encryption key every time you can select key 1, 2, 3, or 4. This is especially helpful for 128-bit HEX (52 characters!). This is where you can select which key you want to use. Authentication Type: In Open mode, anyone with the right SSID can connect to the camera, but in Shared mode the user will need to have the right encryption key to connect the camera thereby providing higher security Wi-Fi Protected Access with Preshared Key, the key field (bottom) needs to be filled out and will support up to 128-bit encryption. Advanced Setting Beacon Interval: This represents the amount of time between beacon transmissions, in which the beacon interval tells the Router/Access Point on the network how long they can wait in low-power mode before waking up the IP camera. Note: A beacon is a packet sent by the IP camera to inform the Router/Access Point of the IP camera's presence and readiness. The Router/Access Point and IP camera are all on the same network.
