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.

DDNS
65
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
66
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.
67
Chapter 9
UPnP
68
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows the other device to detect the presence of the camera so that communication becomes
possible. You should enable UPnP if you wish your camera to be recognized by your router. UPnP Traversal makes camera remote
access over the Internet possible using camera DDNS name. You won’t be able to access the camera if you disable UPnP feature.
Please keep it Enable if you are not sure.
Hostname: You may rename your camera to other meaningful names such as storage room, lobby, or any other descriptions you
find suitable to describe the space being monitored.
UPnP: Enable or Disable
UPnP Traversal: Enable or Disable
Click Apply when configuration is done to activate new settings.

Status
If you audio is important to what you are monitoring, you need to set the audio status to Enable. So that the microphone can
pick up sounds in the environment. On the other hand, if audio is not necessary (for instance an open space with a lot of noises),
you are advised to disable the audio to reduce the clips file size. The default sample rate is 8k, and the bit rate is 16 bit.
Input Gain: setting the sensitivity of the microphone. High gain will result in higher volume and but picks up more noise.
Encoding: supports G711A, AAC and G711U.

Event Management
119
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”.
120
.
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.
121
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.
122
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.
123
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.
124
Therefore, you can have a combination of three different detection window sizes.
125
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.
126
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
127
Event Action
This page provides Event-related settings.
Event Action/Buffer Duration until Next Event: can set 20sec(s), 30sec(s), 1min(s), 5min(s), 10min(s), if you set 20sec(s) for this
item, system will ignore any trigger during this 20sec(s).
Event Snapshot/Snapshot Duration: can set 10sec(s), 20sec(s), if you set 10sec(s) for this item, system will send a snapshot in
every 10sec(s).
Event Recording Stream Type: H.264 (1920x1080) or H.264 (640x360)
Video Length: the maximum video length of time per file
Detectors Pre-event Buffer: the length of pre-event time (0~5 seconds)
Record Duration: the length of recording time when alarm is triggered.
128
Note:
If setting Buffer Duration Until Next Event to 30 seconds, the camera will keep recording for 30 seconds when event is triggered.
In this case, if the Video Length is 10 seconds, then 3 files will be generated for single instance of event. If Video Length is 30
seconds, then only 1 file will be generated. Please note that pre-event buffer will extend the length of the video clip for the
chosen extra length of time.

Event Server
130
Network Storage
It is required for users to configure Event Server settings before setting camera Event or Schedule Recording. You will have
to tell where the captured images or clips are going to be stored. The following concept diagram depicts the flow of the image
file when and when captured. The file is stored at one of the predefine storage locations.
Network Storage and FTP are required to have existing servers ready for upload. SMTP is good for small image capture since it
sends the file through email. You should choose what is best for your application.
This camera supports two types of Network Storage: NFS and SAMBA.
Before going further, you need to Enable to configure the network storage first.
