Windows Help • SSID must match. • Wireless security settings must match. • In Ad-hoc mode, the Channel should match, although this is often not required. Video quality may suddenly deteriorate. This can happen when an additional viewer connects to the Wireless Network Camera, overloading the camera or the available bandwidth. The image size and quality can be adjusted to cater for the required number of viewers and the available bandwidth. The motion detection feature doesn't send me any e-mails. It may be that the SMTP (Simple Mail Transport Protocol) server used by the camera to send the e-mail will not accept mail. (This is to prevent Spam being sent from the server.). Try using a different SMTP server, or contact your ISP to see if SMTP access is being blocked. You must use a static IP address (you can copy the DHCP Address), but the DNS server must be that of the ISP and not of the router. You can find this address in the router's status log for WAN IP Address. Using the motion detection feature, I receive e-mails which don't show any moving objects. The motion detection feature doesn't actually detect motion. It compares frames to see if they are different. Major differences between frames are assumed to be caused by moving objects. But the motion detector can also be triggered by sudden changes in the level of available light or movement of the camera itself. Try to avoid these situations. The motion detection feature works best in locations where there is good steady illumination, and the camera is mounted securely. This feature can NOT be used if the camera is outdoors. The image is blurry. Try cleaning the dome, or adjusting the Image Quality setting on the Image screen. Video created will the lower settings will contain less detail; this is the trade-off for using less bandwidth. Windows Help Almost all wireless products require Microsoft Windows. Windows is the most used operating system in the world and comes with many features that help make networking easier. These features can be accessed through Windows Help and are described in this appendix. TCP/IP Before a computer can communicate with an access point or router, TCP/IP must be enabled. TCP/IP is a set of instructions, or protocol, all PCs follow to communicate over a network. This is true for wireless networks as well. Your PCs will not be able to utilize wireless networking without having TCP/IP enabled. Windows Help provides complete instructions on enabling TCP/IP. WVC200-210 User Guide 45
