No. Before powering on the Camera, you should decide if you want to connect the Camera to a wireless network via an access point or to a wired network.

Can I install the Camera outdoors? No, the Camera was not designed for outdoors usage. I've recorded video for a few hours. Why do I see multiple files saved on my computer? The recording function saves video in chunks; each chunk is a maximum of one hour in duration. For example, if you have recorded five continuous hours, then you will see five files saved on your computer. This keeps files from getting too large.
