Hint
- When trying to establish an FTP connection via a wireless LAN, if the camera is not emitting radio waves after entering the FTP power save mode, etc., the (wireless LAN) icon on the screen will disappear.
- If connecting via a wired LAN, see the “Help Guide” for the camera for the location of the terminal (only with models supporting wired LAN).
- If connecting via a wireless LAN, make sure that you are near the registered access point.
- You can also establish an FTP connection via a wired LAN even if [Airplane Mode] is set to [On] (only with models supporting wired LAN).
Note
- When a connection error occurs, check the following.
- Check whether the wired LAN cable is disconnected, and insert the terminal correctly (only with models supporting wired LAN).
- If connecting via a wireless LAN but the registered access point cannot be found, move closer to the registered access point.
