You must now change your computer to connect the Wi-Fi to the correct Client Wi-Fi.
Failures to set the Wi-Fi settings correctly may result in communication issues. If this happens, refer to the user
manual section on Resetting to Defaults using the button press (when camera is on, hold for 10-12 seconds until
red flashing LED appears, then release and briefly depress/release again.) The camera will then reboot and power
up but all settings will return to default settings.
An example command set may look like this:
1.
Ensure that your computer is connected to the camera’s Access Point (192.168.2.1)

After each call returns success, validate that the new settings are in place by retrieving those pieces of
