CCFC Field Camera

12.8.2.3.2 

 Existing Network 

The Wi-Fi settings information appears when the camera Wi-Fi is 

configured to operate with an existing network. Typically, this 

mode would be used when the camera is regularly connected to an 

existing Wi-Fi network to transfer files or to eliminate the need to 

connect a wired Ethernet cable. 

Figure 12-31 Connect to Existing Network

The Scan For Networks button appears when the Access Mode is 

in Existing Network. This button searches for nearby Wi-Fi access 

points and displays a list. The list includes the name, address, 

channel, signal strength, network, and encryption types. There are 

also buttons which copy the selected AP information into the 

configuration section for ease of use, which appear when the 

Connected to Existing Network option is selected. 

After performing a scan for Wi-Fi networks, the user can quickly 

copy the selected network information into one of three client 

settings by pressing the button in the result table. After this step, 

if the Wi-Fi network is using encryption, the password must be 

entered into the password box in order to connect.  

Typically, this is all that is required to connect to a Wi-Fi 

network, as nearly all networks supply configuration information 

using DHCP. However, if necessary, the process can be done 

manually. 

When the camera tries to connect to a Wi-Fi network, it will 

perform a scan and connect to the first network that is configured
