1) First thing to do is to screw the provided Wi-
Fi antenna into the antenna socket located on
the camera. Use a clockwise motion to connect.
It is recommended to leave the antenna in a
vertical position for best reception.
2) Now connect the supplied power adapter to
the power input on the camera.

Network LAN Connection (optional)
Even though both models primarily connect to your home network wirelessly, they can also connect to your router using the supplied LAN cable. The main
advantage of a LAN connection is that you don’t get disconnections or dropouts as you would with a wireless connection.
