Summary:
Some Wisenet camera models feature a micro USB connector. With a specific Wi-Fi adapter attached to the USB connector, wireless setup of the camera is possible using the Wisenet Installation application available for Android and iOS. The attached file is a document explaining the Android and iOS setup of the Wisenet Installation application.
It is also possible to utilize a Wi-Fi enabled laptop accessing the camera directly using the same setup. However, since the camera can not configure the Wi-Fi adapter and act as a router, a different procedure is used to accomplish the same. This article walks you through the process.
Note: Refer to the following article for a list of the compatible Wi-Fi adapters
