Read Before Using

For users’ convenience, the camera is configured with DHCP enabled by default which allows the camera to get an IP address for itself automatically. This applies to the majority of the home network settings. However, if you are connecting the product in an office (or any public settings), you may need to consult the IT technician at the MIS department ahead to avoid IP address conflict.

Like all electronic devices, do not install the product in hazard environment where humidity or temperature is high to avoid danger. This camera is designed for indoor usage only, do not expose it directly under the sun and avoid contact with water. In case of wall-mount installing, secure the camera and wires in place and prevent it from dangling.

Network Deployment

Before setting up the camera with your gateway or router, please ensure the Internet is ready.

When camera is configured with the gateway/router with Internet connection, you can then access the camera throughtout your home or studio office. 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).

Gateway/Router


Modem

WAN Ethernet

Wired Setup

Wireless Setup

14

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 find suitable.

WAN

Gateway/Router

LAN Port

RJ-45 Ethernet Cable

15

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.

Make sure two devices are close enough and the gateway/router is not occupied by heavy traffic 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 configure wireless setting afterwards. Please refer to Chapter 3 for manual wireless setup.

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.


22

EnViewer Finder: Network>>

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 fine. 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 identification.

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 find 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 fine for most cases.

EnViewer Finder: Config>>

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 Config page, you will be able to get the URL of each stream and configure the basic video settings for each stream before getting started.

URL

The URLs are provided for your reference. There are many 3 rd 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.


27

EnViewer Finder: Config>>

Codec

This setting determines what codec used for video compression. Please keep the default codec H.264 for optimized video quality. The compression method affects overall performance and file size. The options are reserved for advanced purposes only.

Max. frame rate

This setting determines how many frames are taken per second. This setting affects the quality of the video. High frame rate results in smoother video quality but it also generate larger video file size.

Please ensure that the option “Check Live View now” is ticked before hitting the Finish button. It will direct you to the camera

Live View page for check the video streaming.

Click when completed.

You should get familiar with your camera page. Please bookmark it to your favorite site so that you don’t have to memorize the IP address the next time you want to login into the camera. Of course, you can also use your DDNS name to access the camera management page. Either way works fine.

Network

The Network setting menu consists of Network related configurations.

Network>> IP Configuration

Each camera should be assigned with an IP address in the network for identification. IP Configuration setting allows you to change the method with which the camera obtain its IP address. The default setting Dynamic IP (DHCP) is applicable to most of the 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)


66

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 configure your management PC/Laptop under the same domain.

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 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.

Dynamic IP (DHCP)

MAC Address : Normally, the MAC address is obtained automatically. To change the setting, type in the MAC address into the field.

Click Apply when configuration is done to activate new settings.


67

Network>> EnGenius Cloud Services

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 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.

68

Default UID : Each device is distributed with an exclusive unique identification (UID). You can find 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 find the default DDNS shown here.

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. 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”.


69

If you prefer using 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



70

Network>> UPnP

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) allows the other device to detect the presence of the camera so that communication become possible. You should enable UPnP if you wish your camera to be recognized by your home gateway/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 living room, kitchen, baby room or any other descriptions you find suitable to describe the space being monitored.

Enter your Pre-Shared Key and press Save to complete the setting.


73

Please wait for a moment for the setup to complete.

While waiting, you can remove RJ45 Ethernet Cable from the camera now. It may take a moment for the camera to establish wireless connection with the chosen AP (your gateway/router).

Your camera should be connected to the gateway/router now. You can verify it by logging into your camera again. In case if the camera is still not accessible, please check your gateway/router wireless setting again see whether your camera is connected.


74

Wireless>> WPS

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 configurations 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 find each other.

Normally, for WPS-enabled products, you should be able to find 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 first. 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).

Then, press the WPS button the camera.

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.


83

Media>> Camera

You can get better image appearance by tuning the image parameters of the camera using the sliders shown. For example, in a dark room you may want to set the Brightness higher to generate clearer result. When directly facing an outdoor window, you may want to lower the Brightness a bit. There may be different settings under different circumstance; therefore, you should tune the value if the image quality has become too low to serve its purpose.

By clicking Default Settings , all the settings will be reset to default value. And click Apply to make change effectively.

Please refer to the following examples for comparison between low and high for each of the light settings.

Note: Some of the effects will be more obvious in higher resolution at real time.

85

Camera>> Flicker Control

The supported options are: 60Hz & 50Hz

Flicker Control is an anti-flicker feature setting.

AC lamp can cause a flicker effect, which is a consequence of the AC power frequency (50 or 60 Hz). As the light can change from picture to picture, causing light flicker. This will lead to inconsistent light source between each snapshot. To eliminate flicker, configure your camera to PAL (60Hz) or NTSC (50Hz) modes to compensate the effects. Check the power supply of your region for proper setting.


86

Camera>> Mirror / Flip

Supported video orientation options are None , Mirror, Flip and Both

Event Management

This camera supports many intelligent features that allows you to utilize the camera in many application scenarios. This section will introduce each of them in detail. For application examples, please refers to the Application Guide .

Event Management >> Setup Wizard

Wizard is an integrated configuration flow guide to the two main features on the camera: Schedule Recording and Event/Alarm .

Schedule Recording: Set the camera to record video regularly based on a predefined schedule.

Event/Alarm: When camera detects an event that matches the predefined condition, an alarm will be triggered and proceed with the defined actions; for instance, taking snapshots or recording videos for the specified length of time.


91

Wizard – Schedule Recording

Step 1: Select Scheduled Recording

Choose Schedule Recording on the page and click Next to proceed.

Step 2: Schedule the Recording

You can specify the time range for each schedule or simply click on All Day for

24-hour recording.

You must Select to enable the schedule.

Storage Destination: SD Card or Network Storage

Stream Type: H.264 (1280x720) or H.264 (640x480). This options is based on current video settings for Stream 1 and Stream 2.

Video Length: the maximum video length of time per file

Video Format: AVI

Note: You may have two different schedules for the same day. As shown in the example above, you can have two schedules: Monday

08:00~12:00 and Monday 14:00 ~ 18:00.


92

Step 3: Time Settings

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. You suppose have completed the time setting during the installation. This is just another confirmation just in case if you did not have not configure the time setting.

Click Save to complete the wizard.


93

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 configured 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 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.


94

By default, Window 1 is enabled and full detecting area is set with red dashed color frame.

You can configure 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.


95

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.



96
