Wireless Function Notes

When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, make sure that the cameras IP addresses are different.

When multiple cameras with a wireless transmitter attached are connected to one access point, the transmission rate drops.

When there are multiple IEEE 802.11n/g/b (2.4 GHz band) access points, leave a gap of four channels between each wireless LAN channel to reduce radio wave interference. For example, use channels 1, 6, and 11, channels 2, 7, and 12, or channels 3, 8, and 13. When IEEE 802.11n/a can be used (on the 5 GHz band), switch to IEEE 802.11n/a (on the 5 GHz band) and specify a different channel.

Notes for Using Multiple Wireless Transmitters

If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems may occur. Transmission monitoring

Third parties with malicious intent may monitor the wireless LAN transmissions and attempt to acquire the data you are sending.

Unauthorized network access Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information. Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to cover their tracks when infiltrating other systems).

It is recommended to thoroughly secure your network to prevent these types of problems from occurring.
