8. Wireless Security
This section introduces different levels of security to protect your data from
invasion.
IPCAM provides the following security types:
• WPA-PSK (pre-shared key)
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
What is WEP?
WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard
and uses the RC4 encryption algorithm. WEP provides security by data
encryption on your wireless network, so that to ensure secure transitions from
one wireless device to the other.
To access a WEP network, you must know the key. Key is a code string. When
using WEP, you must specify the level of encryption. Type of encryption
determines the key length.128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit
encryption. Key id defined by HEX (16 hex -0-9, AF) or ASCII (American
Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric characters) format.
