Deleting wireless access points

The app remembers the SSIDs of wireless routers that you use at home to connect to the camera; it can remember 10 SSIDs, and saves them in the wireless access point list. If the list is full and you try to connect to the camera using a new SSID while at home, the app may connect to the camera over the Internet even though you are at home. In this case, we recommend deleting unused SSIDs from the wireless access point list.
