Network Deployment
Before setting up the camera with your gateway or router, please ensure the Internet is ready.
When camera is congured with the gateway/router with Internet connection, you can then access the camera throughtout
your home or studio ofce. This section will guide you through the connection setup. Please follow the succedding guide step by step
for setting up the connection between your camera and the home gateway/router.
There are two ways to establish connection between the camera and gateway/router: Wired (Ethernet) and Wireless (Wi-Fi).

Chapter2 | Installation
Connecting via Ethernet Cable
Connect the camera to the gateway/router on the LAN ports with a network CAT5 RJ-45 Ethernet cable (shown below). You
may use the cable included in the package for initial setup; however, you may be required to switch to wireless setting or purchase a
longer cable to extend the connecting range.
As a rule of thumb, using an Ethernet cable for optimized connectivity if your camera is close enough to the gateway/router;
and for wall-mount installation, adopting wireless setup will be a better choice. Choose either way for the application you nd suitable.

Connecting via Wi-Fi Setup
It is recommended that to make initial setup with RJ-45 Ethernet cable and then switch to wireless after you have completed
all the settings. However, you can also start wirelessly with WPS mechanism.
Note: Ensure the gateway/router supports WPS feature and conrm that the feature is enabled.
Make sure two devices are close enough and the gateway/router is not occupied by heavy trafc or P2P loading.
I. Press the WPS button (shown below) on your gateway or router until WPS LED blinks.
II. Press and hold the WPS button on the back of your camera for 1-5 seconds and the Wi-Fi LED will start blinking
frequently. When the connectivity is complete, the Wi-Fi LED will become solid green. The process may take up to 1 minute.
Please note that there may be differences in WPS between brands; therefore, if the gateway or router does not respond to camera
connection request properly, please use RJ-45 cable for initial setup and manually congure wireless setting afterwards. Please refer

Mode
There are three modes that your camera can get its IP address: DHCP, Manual or PPPoE.
DHCP:
It is the most popular way in the home network settings. It will request IP address from your gatewaty or router automatically. The
requirement is that your gateway/router should enable DHCP (which is basically the default setting for most of the home gateway/
router products). You are not required to enter any IP related information.
Manual:
You will need to assign the IP address details in TCP/IP section. Please ensure that the IP address is not being used by someone else
in the network.
PPPoE:
If you are connecting to the Internet without going through your home gateway/router, you can connect the camera directly to
your modem (given that your Internet service is using PPPoE protocol). Please consult your local network service provider for more
detail. Basically, the PPPoE setting is exactly the same as what your home gateway or router. You will need to provide at least the
Username and Password to get the access.

UPnP
This feature must be enabled so that the camera can be discovered by UPnP services. Leave it enabled if you unsure what UPnP is.
System Time
Like any other surveillance system, time is essential because we want to keep track of the time of the events recorded or detected
by the camera. By default, the camera is connected to a public time server (pool.ntp.org) and its time is always synchronized with
the server over the Internet. Normally, you only need to change the Time Zone. Choose the one that matches your location from
the dropdown menu. Leave the other settings as default should be ne. Setting the wrong time server or time zone will result in
inaccurate scheduling and time stamp.
Authorization
You may change the Password of ‘admin’ or Camera Name here. Please note that, once you changed the password. You will need to
provide your new password the next time your login the camera through EnViewer Finder or Web Browser. The Camera Name is the
camera host name that represents the identity of the camera. If you installed several cameras, please assign a unique name for each
camera for better identication.

Default DDNS name
Each camera is distributed with a unique DDNS name and the default DDNS name is shown in the column. You can also nd the
default DDNS information on the QR code label inside the package.
DDNS Alias
You may give an rememberable for future access easily. For instance, you can use your nickname with cam as a combination; for
example, supermancam. Then you need to check whether the name has been taken by someone else by clicking on Check Availability
button. If the alias is not being used by others, then you can access the camera with both your default DDNS and the new alias DDNS
(supermancam.engeniusddns.com).
Refresh Time
options are 3HRs, 6HRs, 9HRs, 12HRs and 24HRs. DDNS server needs to synchronize with your IP address often so that you can
access your device over the Internet with DDNS name. Depends on your Internet Service provider, your WAN IP address lease time will
be different. You can check with your local Internet Service provider for WAN IP address refresh time. The default setting is 24HRs
(which means DDNS server will check the synchronization every 24 hours). Normally, the default setting 24HR is ne for most cases.

The camera supports two concurrent video streams simultaneously; by default, Stream 1 serves for monitoring over browser
while Stream 2 serves mobile APP - EnViewer. However, you can switch the stream on both browser and EnViewer app manually.
In this Cong page, you will be able to get the URL of each stream and congure the basic video settings for each stream
before getting started.
URL
The URLs are provided for your reference. There are many 3rd party media player that supports RTSP streams. You can provide these
URLs to those players and view the camera streams in real time.
Resolution
You can select the resolution for both stream according from the dropdown menu. However, it is suggested to keep the settings as
default in regular network environment. As mentioned, the Stream 2 is the default setting for EnViewer app and the lower resolution
(VGA, 640x480) will be recommended for smoother live streaming because mobile devices have smaller screens and are likely with
limited network bandwidth than PCs/Laptops.

application scenario. However, advanced users can also change to Static IP or PPPoE whichever suits the purpose.
Mode: Static IP, PPPoE and Dynamic IP (DHCP)
67
Chapter5 | User Interface
Static IP
If your network requires Static IP, you need to specify the detail
IP settings similar to above. Please note that, if you are managing your
camera in local network similar to the example shown above, you will
need to congure your management PC/Laptop under the same domain.
If you are connecting to the Internet without going through
your home gateway/router, you can connect the camera directly to
your modem (given that you are using PPPoE for your Internet service).
Please consult your local network service provider for more detail.
Basically, the PPPoE setting is exactly the same as what your home
gateway/router. You need to provide at least Username and Password
to get access.
MAC Address: Normally, the MAC address is obtained automatically. To
change the setting, type in the MAC address into the eld.

Network>> EnGenius Cloud Services
You must Enable EnGenius Cloud rst and then choose the Type.
Users are recommended to use the free EnGenius DDNS service that the address is printed on the QR
Code label inside the packaging. This is because ISP often leases dynamic WAN IP address that changes from
time to time. DDNS domain name will always be the same even if the WAN IP address changes. The domain
name can also be found on your System → Status page. As shown below, the DDNS domain name used for
the example is ooooooo.engeniusddns.com.
A key part about EnGenius Cloud Service is DDNS. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is a type of DNS that works with dynamic IP address.
DDNS keeps update its mapping regularly and ensures a consistent matching so that your device can be accessed over the Internet
using a xed DDNS name. You can either use the default EnGenius DDNS Service or other 3rd party Service you prefer.
69
Chapter5 | User Interface
Default UID: Each device is distributed with an exclusive unique identication (UID). You can nd the default UID shown here.
UID Status: when working properly, it should show “Connected”.
Default DDNS: Each device is distributed with an exclusive DDNS. You can nd the default DDNS shown here.
Alias DDNS Name: You may nd that your DDNS is too difcult to remember. EnGenius provides free DDNS name registration as long
as the alias is not yet been taken other EnGenius product users. You can check the availability by clicking on the button Availability
Check for verication. For example, if “superman” is available and when the setting is activated, both DDNS name “superman.
engeniusddns.com” and “ooooooo.engeniusddns.com” can be used to access this camera.
Refresh Time: options are 3HRs, 6HRs, 9HRs, 12HRs and 24HRs. DDNS server needs to synchronize with your IP address often so
that you can access your device over the Internet with DDNS name. Depends on your Internet Service provider, your WAN IP address
lease time will be different. You can check with your local Internet Service provider for WAN IP address refresh time. The default
setting is 24 HRs (which means DDNS server will check the synchronization every 24 hours). Normally, the default setting 24 HRs is
okay for most cases.
DDNS Status: when working properly, it should show “Connected”.
Note: DDNS will only work only if your gateway/router is connected to the Internet. If gateway/router is not connected to the
Internet, your DDNS status will show “Disconnected”.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a network security standard that allow users to easily secure a wireless home network. This
feature allows user to set up wireless connection between the camera and home gateway/router without entering any detail wireless
security congurations such as SSID, encryption method or pre-shared key (password). However, you need to initiate WPS process on
both the camera and the gateway/router at the same time so that they can nd each other.
Normally, for WPS-enabled products, you should be able to nd the WPS button on the product. Only few rare cases that require
user to initiate WPS process over web page. Make sure WPS feature is Enabled on both the camera and your gateway/router. Then,
you need to know how to initiate gateway’s/router’s WPS process rst. It is mostly likely a simple push of the WSP button on your
gateway/router. On EDS1330, you can initiate WPS process by pressing the WPS button or through the web page.
WPS Button
The simplest way to setup wireless connection with a gateway/router is by pressing on the WPS button.
First, press the WPS button on the gateway/router (there may be changes on the LED lights as signs of initiation).

Stream1 and Stream2
There are two streams running concurrently: Stream 1 and Stream 2. By default, Stream 1 has the higher resolution than stream 2.
Stream 2 serves lower resolution for mobile devices which has smaller screens. Each stream has independent settings.
Compression Format: H.264 is suggested that serves the best
compression quality.
Resolution: This sets the resolution of the image. Higher
resolution delivers higher quality image but consumes more
storage spaces and network bandwidth.
Max. Frame per Second: This sets the maximun number of frames
to be captured per second. Higher frame rate delivers smoother
video but consumes more storage spaces and network bandwidth.
Bit Rate Encoding: This sets the bit rate encoding at which tha
output data consumed is constant or variable per time segment.
Bit Rate (Ethernet): The bit rate when data is transmitted using
Ethernet.
Bit Rate (WiFi): The bit rate when data is transmitted using
wireless connection.
You are adivsed to set a smaller video size and lower bit rate for remote viewing on mobile phones (Stream 2) and a larger video size
and a higher bit rate for live viewing on web browsers (Stream 1). In addition, Ethernet suffers less interference and tends to be faster
than wireless; therefore, the bit rate can be set higher for (Stream 1). The reason that Stream 2 bit rate settings are both low simply
because Stream 2 is applied to serve low bandwidth appliances such as mobile phone.

Wizard – Event/Alarm
Step 1: Select Alarm
Choose Event/Alarm on the page and click Next to proceed.
Step 2: Motion Detection Window Setting
Motion Detection Window is a hot zone that the camera analyzes for movement. When a motion is detected within the zone, an event
alarm will be triggered.
There can be 3 windows congured at the most. Simply click on the check box to enable or disable the selected window. Three
windows are differentiated by color; Window 1 is Red, Window 2 is Green and Window 3 is Blue.
Sensitivity: The sensitivity is set by percentage. The higher percentage represents higher sensitivity.
Depends on your application, high sensitivity will trigger event more often than low sensitivity and produce more snapshots or videos.
However, overly sensitive detection will ll up the storage very quickly. Even if you have unlimited storage space, large amount of
les can become a problem when you need search through each of the les to nd what you are really looking for. It may take some
time for you to ne tune the optimal sensitivity for your application.

By default, Window 1 is enabled and full detecting area is set with red dashed color frame.
You can congure the detection window by dragging around the frame to decide the monitoring objects or area.
Please refer to Event Management>> Motion Detection for resizing the window
Click Next to continunue the event settings.

Step 3: Audio Detection Settings
Audio Detection is another way to trigger the event and alarm. It can be enabled to initiate snapshot or recording when there’s sound
detected in the background. When the incidence falls out of the motion detection window, “sound” can be a good indication that a
change in the environment has occurred and it’s better to take actions to keep event in record.
Status: Enable or Disable
Sensitivity Level: The sensitivity is set by percentage. The higher percentage represents higher sensitivity.
Similar to motion detection, high sensitivity will trigger event more often than low sensitivity and produce more snapshots or videos.
However, overly sensitive detection will ll up the storage very quickly. Even if you have unlimited storage space, large amount of
les can become a problem when you need search through each of the les to nd what you are really looking for. It may take some
time for you to ne tune the optimal sensitivity for your application.

Event Server
It is required for you to congure Event Server settings after setting camera Event Management. You will have to tell where
the captured images and video recording are going to be stored. The following concept diagram depicts the ow of the image le
when and when captured. The recording le is stored at one of the predene storage locations while the snapshot can be saved to
two storage destinations.
The simplest way to keep the media les is to save on SD card (see next Chapter); however, SD card storage size is relatively
limited comparing to other alternatives. On the other hand, Network Storage and FTP require you to have existing servers ready
for upload. E-Mail Alerts is good for small image captured since it sends le through email. You should choose what is best for your
application.
