existing network (infrastructure mode) or by direct wireless link
(access-point mode).

not already connected to a wireless network. The computer
cannot access the Internet while connected to the camera.

computer on an existing
network (including home
networks) via a wireless router.
The computer can still access
the Internet while connected to the camera.
