I have installed the DCS-5220 IP camera. I can see the video if the network cable attached to the camera but once the network cable is detached, the wireless does not communicate with the wireless router.
Make sure your wireless router's user name and password is the same with your camera's wireless user name and password and also same security method
Plug in the network cable first and make sure the following settings are correct:
1. SSID is the same and set to broadcast
2. You are using the same WPA AES password as the router (or WEP password if you are using WEP)
3. The wireless antennae is connected
4. The camera is located not to far from the router
After that, remove the network cable and restart your camera.
I had the same problem, but I realised that I had the SSID field wrong in the camera network configuration settings. It worked after that in wireless mode.
It also advisable to declare a static local IP address to your camera
Set the SSID to your modem's SSID and use the security key WEP or WAP of your modem's
How ti do factory reset for dcs-5220
The IP cameras can only connect to wireless networks that have either WEP or WPA wireless encryption. If your wireless network does not have any encryption you will need to choose on; I suggest WPA.
The other thing you will need to do when the IP cameras are connected via Ethernet wire, is to assign it a static IP address within your network.
I hope this helps.
