Thank you for choosing EnGenius products.

1.2. 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 majority of the surveillance network settings. However, if you are connecting the product in an office (or any

public setting), you may need to consult the IT department in charged for IP setting detail to avoid IP address conflict.

Like all electronic devices, do not install the product in hazardous environment where humidity or temperature is high to avoid danger.

This camera is designed for indoor/outdoor (with IP66 waterproof) usage; when the camera is wall-mount installed, please secure the camera

and wires in place to prevent it from dangling.

1.4. Package Contents

The package should contain all of following items shown below.

1.5. Physical Description

2. Installation

2.1. Hardware Setup

Before installing the camera, please make sure the camera is properly configured and tested before hardware installation especially if it is

mounted on a wall. Please also make sure the power outlet is available near the installation site.

I. Screw the supplied antenna to the camera.
II. Basic Connection without PoE

III. PoE Connection—Option 1

When connecting to a non-PoE switch, please connect the camera to a switch via PoE injector (optional).

IV. PoE Connection—Option 2

2.2. Wall Mount

 Locate an area on the wall and make sure the area is capable of supporting the weight of camera.
 Mark and drill pilot holes aligning to the screw holes at the base of mounting bracket.
 Insert the plastic anchors into the pilot holes, and align the holes at the base of the bracket with plastic anchors.
 Once aligned, insert the provided screws through the holes at the base of camera bracket and ensure the cable is seated in the cable

channel. Screw and tighten the bracket in place.

Please loosen the screw-A/B before you turn the camera housing to do vertical and rotation. Align the camera to the correct field of view and

tighten the screw-A/B to lock it into the place.

2.3. IP Camera Connection

Before setting up the camera with your router, please ensure the Internet is ready. When camera is configured with the router with

Internet connection, you can then access the camera through the Internet anytime anywhere. This section will guide you through the

connection setup. Please follow the following guide step by step to setup the connection between your camera and the router. There are two

ways to establish connection between the camera and router: Wired (Ethernet) and Wireless (Wi-Fi).

2.3.1. Connecting via Ethernet Cable

Connect the camera to the router on the LAN ports with a network CAT5 RJ45 Ethernet cable (shown below). You may use the cable that

came with the package for initial setup; however, you may be required to switch to wireless setting or purchase a longer cable to extend the

camera for longer range. As a rule of thumb, if your camera is close enough to the router use Ethernet cable if possible for optimized result; and

for wall mount installation, it’s best to adopt wireless setup. You can choose either way for the application you find suitable.

2.3.2. Connecting via Wi-Fi Setup

It is recommended that to make initial setup with RJ45 Ethernet cable and then switch to wireless after you have completed all the

settings. However, you can also start wirelessly with WPS mechanism.

Ensure the router supports WPS feature and is enabled. Press the WPS button on both camera and the router at the same time. It may

take up to 90 seconds for the two devices to establish the connection. Make sure you are close enough to the router and ensure the router is

not occupied by heavy traffic or P2P loading.

Please note that there may be differences in WPS between vendors; therefore, if router does not respond to camera connection request

please use RJ45 cable for initial setup and manually configure wireless setting afterwards.

3. Accessing the Camera after Installation

There are several ways to get access to your camera on your network. You should probably have a setup similar to the following diagram.

You can manage the camera using your PC, Laptop, Tablet or iOS/Android based mobile phone; we will call it management station in the

following context. The key point is that management station and the camera must be connected under the same subnet.

3.1. Managing using PC or Laptop

3.1.1. EnViewer Finder

EnViewer Finder is a tool provided by EnGenius that helps you discover the camera within a local network. You should be able to find the tool

inside the CD. Please install the tool to your management station desktop for quick access when you need it. Please take note of the IP address

shown. In this example, 192.168.0.101 is the camera IP address.

Double-click on the icon to run.

The camera list at the center displays the discovered cameras currently connected to your router (local network). If you do not find the

one you intend to configure, please click on Refresh to rescan the network until it appears on the list. Please turn off any heavy-loading

applications such as P2P that may occupy your network.

Enter Username and Password for the selected camera on the list.

Click on Next to start configuration.

The EnViewer Finder will guide you step by step through the basic settings Network, DDNS and Config. You can also switch between settings by

clicking the icons on the panel.

Rescan the network for camera.

Go to Network setting

Go to DDNS setting

Go to Camera Video Configuration setting

Upgrade the current camera firmware

Reset the current camera to factory default

Reboot/restart the current camera

3.1.1.1. EnViewer Finder: Network

MODE: There are three modes that your camera can get its IP address. DHCP, Manually, or PPPoE.

DHCP:

It is the most popular way in the home network setting. It will request IP address from your router automatically. The requirement is that your

router should enable DHCP (which is basically the default setting for most of the home router vendors). 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
