the memory card, as well as setting an alarm schedule so it records when it has detected
motion. It supports Micro-SD cards up to 32GB.
To gain access to the Micro-SD card
slot, use a Phillips-head screwdriver
to unscrew the four screws located at
the front of the camera. Pull out the
camera to gain access to the card slot.
When finished, put the camera back
into the housing and tighten all four
screws.

Wireless Configuration with WPS
What you’ll need:
• A router with WPS capabilities and WPS enabled
• DHCP active on your network (typically with the router as the DHCP host)
• UPnP active on your network (only required for relay server connections)
If you don’t know what these things are, check your router’s documentation for an
overview of how to find the options. If you have an older wireless router that does not
have WPS capabilities - see “Advanced Settings: Ethernet/Wi-Fi” on page 24 for details.
To summarise what we have just mentioned:
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol which automatically
assigns devices on your network an address - on the rare occasion that it’s not
enabled, all devices must have their addresses set manually. The camera requires
that DHCP is enabled to function properly.
• Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a feature that automatically creates open ports
through your firewall so that local network traffic can access the Internet. If that
sounds like magic, it is. UPnP is not required when using peer-to-peer (P2P),
however it is recommended if using a relay server to connect.
• Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a way of securely connecting devices to a wireless
network without all that fussing about with IP addresses or security key codes (that
often run dozens of random characters long).
The WPS button on your wireless
router will be marked with the WPS
logo, which looks like this.
Pairing the camera and your router using WPS:
• Press the WPS pairing button on your router. This button is located in different
places on different routers - some might require that you press and hold the button
and others might only need a momentary press. Check your router’s documentation
or ask your Internet Service Provider for assistance.
• Press and hold the WPS/Reset Button on the camera for three to five seconds.
• Don’t hold the Reset Button too long, or it will reset the pairing you just did!
• Your router should signal that pairing is successful, again check the documentation
for information on how it displays this information.
