Connecting your Unit
Using the provided mounting hardware, attach the FortiAPCam unit to a
ceiling, as described in the previous section.
Adequate grounding must be provided to the unit and the PoE injector, in
compliance with your local electrical code or regulations.
Caution: This device complies with IEEE 802.3af PoE specification. Do
not use any PoE injectors that are not IEEE 802.3af compliant as they may
damage your device.
To connect the FortiAPCam unit
1. Connect the unit to a PoE switch.
2. Connect your FortiGate or FortiWiFi unit to the switch to use the
access point function.
3. Connect your FortiRecorder to the switch to use the video
surveillance function.
Note: For FortiWiFi units, the wireless controller feature is only supported
on units running FortiOS 4.0 MR3 and higher.
Caution: This equipment is to be connected only to PoE networks without
routing to the outside plant.
Page 7
Configuring your Unit
For the camera part of the unit, configuration is done through the
connected FortiRecorder NVR. For details, see the FortiRecorder
Administration Guide at http://docs.fortinet.com.
For the access point part, no configuration is required if the unit is directly
connected to the FortiGate or FortiWiFi performing the Wireless LAN
Controller (WLC) functions, or on the same layer-2 network and subnet as
the FortiGate or FortiWiFi unit.
If the FortiAPCam wireless controller’s IP address cannot be determined
using Zero Configuration mode, or if the network uses static IP addresses,
it can be configured to use a static IP address.
To enable the FortiAPCam using Zero Configuration
1. After connecting the FortiAPCam unit, the unit goes through its boot
procedure and requests an IP address from the DHCP server.
2. If the IP address is retrieved successfully, the FortiAPCam enters
discovery mode to locate a FortiGate or FortiWiFi wireless controller.
The discovery modes are:
• Broadcast
• Multicast
• DHCP option 138
3. Verify that the FortiAPCam has successfully connected to the
controller.
Page 8
In the FortiGate Web-based Manager, go to WiFi & Switch Controller
> Managed Devices > Managed FortiAPs. A successfully discovered
unit displays an orange circle with a question mark.
4. Select the access point and click the Authorize button.
The configuration is downloaded from the wireless controller to the
FortiAP and the WiFi LED lights up.
To enable the FortiAPCam with a static IP address
1. Connect the FortiAPCam device to a separate private switch or hub,
or directly connect it to your management computer via a cross-over
cable.
2. Configure the management computer to be on the same subnet as
the internal interface of the FortiAPCam unit, which default IP address
is 192.168.1.2.
a. For example, in Windows 7, browse to the Network and
Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings > Local Area
Connection Properties > Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
Properties.
b. Change the IP address of the management computer to
192.168.1.3 and the netmask to 255.255.255.0.
3. Use a Telnet apllication to connect to IP address 192.168.1.2.
4. Type admin in the Name field, leave the Password field blank, and
press Enter.
Page 9
5. Configure a static IP address for the FortiAPCam unit and netmask &
gateway information for your network, using the following commands:
cfg -a ADDR_MODE=STATIC
cfg –a AP_IPADDR=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx
cfg –a AP_NETMASK=255.255.255.0
cfg –a IPGW=yyy.yyy.yyy.yyy
cfg –a AC_IPADDR_1=zzz.zzz.zzz.zzz
where xxx is the IP address of the FortiAPCam unit, yyy is the
Gateway IP address and zzz is the IP address of the FortiGate
Wireless Controller.
6. Save the configuration by typing the following command:
cfg –c
7. Unplug the FortiAPCam unit and plug it back in order for the
configuration to take effect.
8. Move the FortiAPCam to the intended deployment location and
connect the Ethernet cable.
9. Log in to the FortiGate controller Web-based Manager, and go to
WiFi & Switch Controller > Managed Devices > Managed FortiAPs. A
successfully discovered unit displays an orange circle with a question
mark in the Status column.
10. Select the access point and click the Authorize button .
11. In the Edit FortiAP dialog box, select Enable Wireless Radio. Leave
the remaining settings at their default values. The configuration is
downloaded from the FortiGate unit to the FortiAPCam device.

Fortinet reasonably determines is substantially equivalent (or superior) in all material respects to the defective Hardware. The Hardware Warranty Period for
the repaired or replacement Hardware shall be for the greater of the remaining Hardware Warranty Period or ninety days from the delivery of the repaired or
replacement Hardware. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion that a material defect is incapable of correction or that it is not practical to repair
or replace defective Hardware, the price paid by the original purchaser for the defective Hardware will be refunded by Fortinet upon return to Fortinet of
the defective Hardware. All Hardware (or part thereof) that is replaced by Fortinet, or for which the purchase price is refunded, shall become the property of
Fortinet upon replacement or refund.
Fortinet warrants that the software portion of Hardware Products will substantially conform to Fortinet’s then current functional specications for the
Software, as set forth in the applicable documentation for a period of ninety (90) days (“Software Warranty Period”), if the Software is properly installed on

ranty Period shall extend for an additional ninety (90) days after any replacement software is delivered. If Fortinet determines in its reasonable discretion
that a material non-conformance is incapable of correction or that it is not practical to repair or replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by
the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by Fortinet; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is
rst returned to Fortinet. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates immediately upon refund. For
purpose of the above hardware and software warranties, the term “functional specications” means solely those specications authorized and published by
Fortinet that expressly state in such specications that they are the functional specications referred to in this section 6 of this Agreement, and, in the event
no such specications are provided to you with the Software or Hardware, there shall be no warranty on such Software.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of
this General Public License. The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program
or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modications and/or
translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modication”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not
restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and ap-
propriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the
absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical
act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such
modications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) You must cause the modied les to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the les and the date of any change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed
as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modied program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the
most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying
Page 22
that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License.
(Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print
an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole. If identiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be
on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote
it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to
control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of
this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2
above provided that you also do one of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source
distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommer-
cial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the
source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface denition les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the ex-
ecutable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies
the executable. If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to
copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along
with the object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any
work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Program or works based on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the
rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are
imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions
of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a
consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all
those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the
section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section
Page 23
has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people
have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is
up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder
who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permit-
ted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be
similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number.
If the Program species a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and
conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this
License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for
permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for
this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse
of software generally.
NO WARRANTY
11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WAR-
RANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR
DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION
0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party
saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called “this License”). Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of
those functions and data) to form executables.
The “Library”, below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A “work based on the Library” means either
the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modications
and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modication”.)
“Source code” for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source
code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface denition les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using
the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use
of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library’s complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously
Page 24
and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and
to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy,
and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modica-
tions or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
a) The modied work must itself be a software library.
b) You must cause the les modied to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the les and the date of any change.
c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
d) If a facility in the modied Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as
an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such
function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.
These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole. If identiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably
considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be
on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to con-
trol the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the
Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must
alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2 instead of to this License. (If a newer
version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any
other change in these notices.
Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and
derivative works made from that copy. This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.
4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1
and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.
If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the
same place satises the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object
code.
5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a
“work that uses the Library”. Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.
However, linking a “work that uses the Library” with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of
the Library), rather than a “work that uses the library”. The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such
executables.
When a “work that uses the Library” uses material from a header le that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the
Library even though the source code is not.
Whether this is true is especially signicant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is
not precisely dened by law.
If such an object le uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in
length), then the use of the object le is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus por-
tions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.) Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under
the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.
6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a “work that uses the Library” with the Library to produce a work containing
portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modication of the work for your own use and
reverse engineering for debugging such modications. You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that
Page 25
the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you
must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one
of these things:
a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work
(which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable
“work that uses the Library”, as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modied executable
containing the modied Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of denitions les in the Library will not necessarily be able to
recompile the application to use the modied denitions.)
b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already
present on the user’s computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modied version of the
library, if the user installs one, as long as the modied version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.
c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specied in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge
no more than the cost of performing this distribution.
d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specied materials from
the same place.
e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.
For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the Library” must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable
from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accom-
panies the executable. It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany
the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.
7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this
License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is
otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:
a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distrib-
uted under the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to nd the accompanying
uncombined form of the same work.
8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy,
modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have
received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any
work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the
Library or works based on it.
10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to
copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise
of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are
imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions
of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as
a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all
those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from
distribution of the Library.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the
section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
