    The Cisco camera surveillance solutions are high quality solutions which can be optimized for many different applications. The box-type form factor allows these cameras to be used as-is or put inside an outdoor enclosure for interior or exterior applications. The cameras use removable CS-mount lenses and can be customized with Zoom, Wide-Angled, Vari-focal, Auto-Iris (DC type), or other type of lenses as required for the specific application.

    3G phones and Quicktime clients on PCs or Wi-Fi phones. Support for multiple network protocols like 802. 1 p priority, 802. 1 q VLANs, and Dynamic DNS, make the solution ideal for multiple IP surveillance applications. The cameras can also be managed securely using HTTPS.

  • Page 13: Chapter 2: Planning Your Wireless Network

    If the computers on the wireless network need to be accessed by a wired network or need to share a peripheral, such as a printer, with the wired network computers, the wireless network should be set up in infrastructure mode. The basis of infrastructure mode centers around an access point, which serves as the main point of communications in a wireless network.

  • Page 14: Wireless Network Layout

    Planning Your Wireless Network Wireless Network Layout If the wireless network is relatively small and needs to share resources only with the other computers on the wireless network, then the ad-hoc mode can be used. Ad-hoc mode allows computers equipped with wireless transmitters and receivers to communicate directly with each other, eliminating the need for an access point.

Hackers know that in order to join a wireless network, wireless networking products first listen for “beacon messages.” These messages can be easily decrypted and contain much of the network’s information, such as the network’s SSID (Service Set Identifier).
