Dear Paul, change the WIFI encyption authenication with our "Eyesee Finder", please come to www.szgeeya.com/ipc for related software. Please know that the camera shall not be too much near the wifi router, like dark under the lamp. But if long time video recording or surveillance, we would advise wired connection. Further questions please feel free to contact us.

The camera is wireless b/g only. Even though you have wireless n most routers have wireless g available. Check out your documentation and see if your router supports g, it should.

The camera needs to be set up initially while it is hardwired to your modem. Once it is set up "hardwired" you can disconnect and unplug and setup "wirelessly". Perhaps that is why you are receiving an error message. Also, the username and/or password are case sensitive. Hope that helps.

plug the camera into a spare socket on your router / modem to start with. then run the set up software. you can then asked it to log onto your wireless network, click the refresh icon if need be to see networks. Sometimes you need to click in to the empty box for the network list to appear !

make sure you have set the camera up to recognize your wifi while it is plugged it. Once you have your wifi name and password saved you can unplug it and it will automatically connect.

Actually it doesn't work like that. The camera itself creates a local wifi network, and your phone connects to ITS wifi network. (Manual includes a password).

You need to connect it to your router with a cable initially, then use a PC, or a device with a browser to configure it for wireless. Once that is done and tested, no pc is needed, the camera is self contained, just needs power.

Yes. Your wireless router needs to be set up including port 81 which this camera uses. But it will work only on routers that sends and receives on the 2.7 Ghz frequency and the old wireless B or G. It won't with wireless N.

Nope. It hooks up to your wireless router. I have this camera and manage it wirelessly from my laptop.

That might be a far distance. You connect the camera to a box to an outlet. The box sends the info wirelessly to another box connected to the router. From there, it goes into their server to your account. I think it's too far to send the info. I think it's better to be hard wired if it's that far away and that distance to be covered.

How are you currently getting Wi-Fi, through a cable modem, DSL of some sort? Your hardware may already have a built-in router providing Your Wi-Fi. You do need an Ethernet port on a router to set the camera up for use over Wi-Fi. Once you have it working over Wi-Fi though, you no longer need to use a wire.

Connect the camera directly to your router for first time configuration [Then run the "BSearch_en" file]. Once you connect to the camera for the first time, you can then input your wireless settings, and turn on wireless mode using a web browser. Note that the default password for controlling the camera is "123456" or "password". And the default identifier for your camera should be on the side of the camera.

I had exactly the same issue. I have bought a female RJ45 connector and tried to fix it, but the cable on the camera has a none standard color code and no where to find wiring information. After two nights of frustration try to make it work I finally gave it up. Another whole night search a replacement camera from Zmodo ends nothing. They seems no longer make this kind of camera (wired PoE IP). What a disappointment. Now I have to rearrange the remaining three cameras and leave some area uncovered.

hmmm, you may not need to. If you connect it to your laptop via the Ethernet port you may be able to setup the wireless connection on it. I don't think you necessarily have to be plugged into a router. The camera will be setup with a default IP Address right out of the box. The idea is for you to access the camera's settings from your laptop directly connected to it via Ethernet. From there you can go to Network/Wireless and have it pick up your wireless connection. Hope this helps.

Make sure to log into the camera when connected to ethernet. Once connected, set a static IP on your local LAN. you must then disconnect the ethernet cable. Power cycle the camera. you should be good to go.

You may need to tell your router to PORT FORWARD to your IP Camera on whatever PORT it is setup to use (default is 80).I also found that unless the computer your trying to FTP an image to MUST be on the same subnet as the camera.
