Suponho que a configuração da câmera solicitará que você se conecte a um ponto de acesso. Se esse for o caso, configure sua caixa do Linux com o hostapd. O seguinte é o hostapd.conf que uso em casa para um ponto de acesso sem fio:
driver=nl80211 #the driver appropriate for your card
interface=wlan0 #the interface name assigned to your card
bridge=br0 #unless br0 is already used
#802.11n stuff
hw_mode=g # wireless-g support
ieee80211n=1 # wireless-n on top of wireless-g
wmm_enabled=0 # I disable WMM because it is satan, YMMV
ht_capab=[HT20][SHORT-GI-20][RX-STBC1] #needed for wireless-n, you may want to comment this out to start
## 802.11n EOF
channel=2 #channel
country_code=US #must match your driver I believe
ssid=SkyNet #use what you want
# this is WPA security, supposed to support just about anything including iOS devices (confirmed)
auth_algs=3
wpa=3
wpa_passphrase=lamaison
wpa_key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
wpa_pairwise=TKIP
rsn_pairwise=CCMP
macaddr_acl=0
# this may provide you with more stats, but might just be better to comment out for starting your project
