Please fix this by pointing the shortcut to the correct path
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\IPCamera.exe. After this you should be able to use the shortcut
without any problems.
4.1.8 I can’t change the record path

4.1.10 Camera cannot connect using wireless
If your camera cannot connect wirelessly after you set the wireless settings, unplug / plug the
power cable. (for more details: Wireless LAN settings in Chapter 3.7)
Usually, camera can’t connect wireless mainly because of incorrect settings.
Verify that the SSID is correct; use the same encryption for router and camera. Share key should
not contain special characters, only word and number will be better. Disable MAC address
filtering.
4.1.11 Can’t see other cameras listed in multi-device when using remote
access
If you want to view all the cameras via the WAN, verify that each camera added in the
multi-device settings can be accessed by using the DDNS name and port number. Use the
DDNS domain name not the camera’s LAN IP. (For more details see: How to add cameras in
WAN)
4.1.12 Only see black screen or undefined characters when using
remote login
If you could access the login page remotely, this indicates that your DDNS settings are correct. If
you are unable to see live video but only some undefined characters, this may be due to the
internet speed issues or the camera using Wi-Fi.
