14 Chapter 2 Before You Begin
15 Before You Begin This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the EnGenius Access Point is essential to maximize the Access Point’s performance. Avoid placing the Access Point in an enclosed space such as a closet, cabinet, or stairwell. Considerations for Wireless Installation The operating distance of all wireless devices can often not be pre-determined due to a number of unknown obstacles in the environment in which the device is deployed. Obstacles such as the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the Access Point’s wireless signals must pass through can weaken the signal. Here are some key guidelines for allowing the Access Point to have an optimal wireless range during setup.  Keep the number of walls and/or ceilings between the Access Point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall and/or ceiling can reduce the signal strength, resulting in a lower overall signal strength.  Building materials make a difference. A solid metal door and/or aluminum stubs may have a significant negative effect on the signal strength of the Access Point. Locate your wireless devices carefully so the signal can pass through drywall and/or open doorways. Materials such as glass, steel, metal, concrete, water (example: fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, and/or brick can also diminish wireless signal strength.  Interference from your other electrical devices and/or appliances that generate RF noise can also diminish the Access Point’s signal strength. The most common types of devices are microwaves or cordless phones.

65 Chapter 8 DDNS
66 You must Enable EnGenius Cloud first and then choose the Type. 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 fixed DDNS name. You can either use the default EnGenius DDNS Service or other 3rd party Service you prefer. Users are recommended to use the free DDNS address printed on the label enclosed in the package. 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. Default UID: default UID UID Status: when working properly, it should show “Connected”. Default DDNS: shows the default DDNS
67 Alias DDNS Name: You may find that your DDNS is too difficult 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 verification. In this example, “superman.engeniusddns.com” is available. That is, when the setting is activated, both DDNS name “superman.engeniusddns.com” and “0e95c28.engeniusddns.com” can be used to access this camera. Refresh Time: options are 3HR, 6HR, 9HR, 12HR and 24HR. 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 24HR (which means DDNS server will check the synchronization every 24 hours). Normally, the default setting 24HR is okay for most cases. DDNS Status: when working properly, it should show “Connected”. Note: DDNS will only work only if your router is connected to the Internet. If router is not connected to the Internet, your DDNS status will show “Disconnected”. If you prefer to use third-party DDNS server, you can choose this option. The current supported third-party DDNS services are 3322(qdns), DHS, DynDNS, ZoneEdit and CyberGate. Choose the one that best suits your purpose. You should provide your account information so that the camera can communicate with the selected DDNS vendor. Your third-party DDNS service account credential should include the following information. Host Name: please enter your registered Host Name Username: please enter your registered Username Password: please enter the password for this Click Apply when configuration is done to activate new settings.
68 Chapter 9 UPnP

119 Chapter 16 Event Management
120 Event Control This camera supports many smart features that allow you to utilize the camera in many application scenarios. This section will introduce each of them in detail. When camera detects an event that matches the predefined condition an event will be triggered and proceed with the defined actions; for instance, taking snapshots or recording videos for the specified length of time and interval. There are two profiles for default setting, you can click “Edit” for detail settings or create a new profile by “Add”.
121 . Enable/Disable the event control Schedule to set the camera to record video regularly based on a predefined schedule. Time of day can specify the time range for each schedule. Trigger Type by Time or Detectors, if you select the detectors, it can be trigger by Motion detection, Audio detection or Tampering detection. Event Notification can send the message to user when event triggered, you can select Push message, E-mail and VMS at the same time. Event Action includes two types of the action when event triggered.
122 Record to SD Card, Network Storage or FTP, please remember to setup and enable the correlate settings of Network Storage and FTP. Snapshot to SD Card, Network Storage, FTP or E-Mail, please remember to setup and enable the correlate settings of Network Storage, FTP, E-mail.
123 Motion Detection Enable: it is recommended that you enable Time Stamp and Video Motion Detection Window is a hot zone that the camera analyzes for motion (image changes). When a motion is detected within the zone an event will be triggered.
124 When the window is selected, use your mouse to move the window to the area you intend to monitor. There can be 3 windows at the most. The Windows are differentiated by color; Window 1 is Green, Window 2 is Red and Window 3 is Blue. Video OSD Prompt displays the warning on the top lift of the live view page when motion triggered. Uncheck the window to remove the window from the view. Sensitivity: Level 0% to Level 100% (with Level 100% being the most sensitive) Depends on your application, high sensitivity will trigger event more often than low sensitivity and produce more snapshots or videos. However, overly sensitive events will fill up the storage very quickly. Even if you have unlimited storage space, large amount of files can become a problem when you need search through each of the files to find what you are really looking for. It may take some time for you to fine tune the optimal sensitivity for your application. You can adjust the motion detecting area by dragging the four corners to resize the window.
125 Therefore, you can have a combination of three different detection window sizes.
126 Audio Detection Sensitivity Level: 0% to 100% (with 100% being the most sensitive) Similar to motion detection, high sensitivity will trigger events more often than low sensitivity and produce more snapshots or videos. However, over-sensitive events will fill up the storage very quickly. Even if you have unlimited storage space, large amount of files can become a problem when you need to search through each of the files to find what you are really looking for. It may take some time for you to fine tune the optimal sensitivity for your application.
127 Tampering Detection Tamper detection is a setting within your IP camera that will send you an alert when the camera is tampered with. Once an action has been detected, whether it’s someone trying to knock the camera down or blocking its view, the alert lets you know to log into the actions to see what happened. Video OSD Prompt displays the warning on the top lift of the live view page when motion triggered. Sensitivity Level: Level 0% to Level 100% (with Level 100% being the most sensitive) Depends on your application, high sensitivity will trigger event more often than low sensitivity and produce more snapshots or videos. However, overly sensitive events will fill up the storage very quickly. Even if you have unlimited storage space, large amount of files can become a problem when you need search through each of the files to find what you are really looking for. It may take some time for you to fine tune the optimal sensitivity for your application
