What is an IP camera or wifi camera?
An IP camera stands for Internet Protocol Camera. This means the camera is connected to a WiFi network. This connection is used to transmit footage. This allows you to watch live footage from the camera, for example through an app. However, the camera does need to always be connected to an internet network.

The KUUS. C2 camera also works without an internet connection. This is possible because an SD card can be fitted in the camera. The footage is stored on this.
Through this AP mode, you can connect your phone, tablet or other wireless WiFi device to the camera's signal. This also lets you view the footage. However, you do need to be near the camera to do this (max. 10 metres), otherwise you won't be able to connect.
Using AP mode, you can view footage stored on the SD card.
