Setting Description SSID•The SSID must be set to match the SSID your wireless router or wireless LAN uses. The SSID is limited to 32 characters (alpha numeric) and is case sensitive. Communication mode•In 802.11b, there are a lot of 802.11b-compliant products and they are inexpensive. They are widely prevalent, so 802.11b is useful when using your existing wireless devices. •802.11b/g supports both 802.11b and 802.11g wireless LAN standards. It is the communication mode that is easy to install on your existing wireless LAN. •802.11g exclusive communicates using 802.11g only. It does not support the mixed standard mode of 802.11b/g, so it allows the use of original features of 802.11g. *1 *1Even if 802.11g exclusive is in use, the existence of other wireless devices using 2.4 GHz bandwidth —including 802.11b wireless devices— may make the baud rate of 802.11g slower.

It adjusts automatically every day. Check the box to enable it. •Set the NTP server IP address. In IPv4, set 4 digits (0— 255) and 3 periods such as 192.168.0.253. But 0.0.0.0 and 255.255.255.255 are not available. In IPv6, set 8 hexadecimal digits divided with :. Consecutive 0s can be abbreviated as ::. Or set a host name (1—255 characters). •Select your time zone. Note The camera will not synchronize to the NTP server if the time setting from the NTP server moves forward or backward more than 1 hour at a time. This is to protect the cameras time setting from fraudulent NTP server tampering, incorrect time information, etc. Adjust Clock for Daylight Saving Time•During the daylight saving time, the internal clock is turned forward an hour. The clock will shift one hour forward at the set time on the Start Day, and move back one hour at the set time on the End Day. Check the box to enable it. Note An s is put between date and time of time stamp when enabling this feature. The time stamp will be attached to the transferred images by the Image Transfer feature.
Operating Instructions 70 Note Date and time settings become incorrect depending on the length of power-on time or the internal temperature. Using the Automatic Time Adjustment is recommended.
